Logic is. Logic can only prove what it can

Wwhere in the World did you get the impression that logic proved existence? All locig can prove is internal consistency (that is, that no statements under consideration directly or indirectly contradict each other or any other statements which have been 'proven' to be logically consistent)
But even that doesn't prove existence. Go look long and hard at Gödels Incompleteness Theorem ☺

Actually Logic and existence dont really go in hand. They are like the two parallel tracks of a railway track - Independent but dependent.
