But, the problem I have is, essentially non existent, is not the same as non existent.

This is the thing. Regardless of what the existence is made up of, even if it is an incomprehensible void, it is still something. It still has a past, it potentially for all anyone knows still has a future.

So then the question I ask is more along the lines of: "What is the difference between that which is 'essentially non existent', and actual non existence?
