This is true. However, there's no reason to believe something is possible before finding any evidence for it.

Things certainly exist. I don't know that it's necessary, though.

What does the existence of anything have to do with a necessary being?

I will explain more in the Mulla Sadra argument.

Existence defines existence. Existence is reason for existence.

Seems trivial, but this proves a lot.

It proves we are not existence but rather borrow life from existence. We depend on existence.
