Good, let's work with that.
Tell me, which part of the baby didn't EXIST before its papa and mama got together and made it?
Which atom, which molecule didn't exist?
Let me put it differently: a carpenter and a table.
A carpenter makes a table. Which part of the table didn't exist before the carpenter built it?
The boards?... the wood?... the nails? the carbon in the wood? the iron in the nails?... the protons and neutrons and electrons that make up those iron and carbon atoms? the quarks that make up the protons and neutrons?...
Which part of the baby or the table didn't EXIST before the baby and the table were made?
So, as I said WAY back in page one: you should be careful with how you use words.
What does "exist" mean to you?
