“Existence” is redefined as follows: An object is said to exist under two conditions. 1) The object must be composed of material. And 2) the material in which the object is composed must have experienced time.

This definition can be applied to all objects in the universe (i.e. a cup, a tree, a human being, the universe itself). Say, for example, a cup is the object in question. A cup is composed of material - carbon atoms, etc. – and this material has experienced time. One may concur that most likely certain materials, which have existed in the universe for millions of years, were eventually forced into becoming the cup. Therefore, it can now be asserted that the cup exists.

When asked, “How was the earth created?” many astronomers have a simple answer: “It got hit.” Material flying through space running into other material flying through space is basically what created the universe, as we know it. The earth did not create itself nor did the moon, the atmosphere, the ocean, human beings, etc.

Everything in the universe is just a part of this universe, including mankind. We are composed of material that has existed through time and was forced into our entire physical form.
