"zero" the number exists as a concept. Zeroness as a thing beyond that doesn't exist.

"Blue" exists as a concept. Blueness exists beyond that as qualia and subjective phenomenological experience that is different and unique to everyone.

So blue and blueness exists in at least two senses but "zero" only exists in one sense.

Think about it in terms of voltages on a wire, positive to negative, and back; what is "zero voltage"?  It is the ground, the voltage that the Earth is at.

Well, I wasn't being metaphrorical.

Colors exist in the sense of qualia. Zero only exists as a concept.

Craig would deny the existence of his own butthole if it meant selling some more books full of bollocks.

Craig is such a cynical liar, he would deny having one while talking out of it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

If I have a galvanometer, I can measure zero electric current:
