Know that the proper forum to ESTABLISH the 'existence of anything' is science

Just to illustrate one problem with your argument, let's see you use science to "prove the existence" of logic. You can't, because science doesn't deal with transcendentals like logic, and instead has to assume them and use them as tools. The only argument available to Positivism or Scientism is to deny the real existence of transcendentals, such as logic. Do you want to sign on to that? Science encounters Goedel's theorem, and can never be self-contained and self-defining. There are no closed systems.
