I'd certainly be interested in seeing the math on that one.

I'm not well-educated enough to wax philosophical on it in the correct terms, but it's an interesting question whether "existence" is even the right word for a status before, above, and beyond space-time. Does capital-g God "exist" in the same sense as my bottle of merlot or a beluga whale? Maybe not, but was that ever even the question?
