I follow Sartre's definition which means nothing is real except ones own experience. I would think that a philosophy which implies that a bullet speeding towards your head is not real until it interacts with your head, has some pretty serious limitations.

"Still, I do feel existentialism cannot be brewed without knowledge of evolution and a modern day understanding of religion i.e. there is not one shred of proof or even logic; and evolution and science does provide all the answers religion used to answer. Even kindness" Although fellow philosophy majors and academia persona may understand this statement I do not. If it is possible to succinctly explain please do--if not--well then I'll just have to do some reading.
