You said that the evidence presented, "that only things that actually exist can cause change", was merely an assertion. My question back to you was "so you think that non-existing thing can cause change?" Instead of answering the question you pop off that the conclusions don't follow from the premise. Maybe they don't. But we aren't there yet because you cannot even commit to basic and clearly evident facts about objective reality.
Where did you demonstrate that only actual things can be the cause of change? Where did you even begin to demonstrate that?
It's an observation. Empirical evidence. You always want to see evidence, right? Well there it is staring you in the face. Have you ever observed something being caused by something that doesn't exist? Does that even make sense to you that that could happen?
