How do you quantify what is more real than something else?
Which do you think is more real: the carbon atom or carbon compounds?
Put in another way: Can carbon exist even if there were no carbon compounds? On the other hand, can carbon compounds exist if they were no carbon?
That is how I determine what is more real than the other.
