Something is everywhere, forever and never

Extrapolating from the idea that God exists, it turns out that it doesn't have to be God who exists or not. The same logic can be applied to anything. Trying again that same exercise:

Within time and space, it is either possible or impossible that something exists. If it does, the chances of it existing increase the longer it exists for and the more space it occupies. Thus, if it occupies all time and space then there is 100% chance that it exists.

On the other hand, if something doesn't exist, the chances of it existing must be zero. A reader might point out that this proves nothing and is so obvious that it is not even interesting. I might say that this conundrum is at least reminiscent to Gödel's incompleteness theorems. But no need to worry about Gödel for now.

In the end, we end up having no answer to our question: does it or does it not exist? A third option exists: it both exists AND it doesn't.

What carries over from this apparent logical paradox, is that when there is something that is everything, then this something encompasses the concept of God; and that same something CAN exist outside of time and space as nothing, never.
