Can existence not exist without math?

I am sorry, but this question does not meet the purpose of the mathematics forums. This forum is only suitable for technical math questions.

I have no clue what that question could even mean! The best I can make of it is that, yes, rocks, ducks, and other things exist without knowing any math and without any person who knows math knowing about them.

Dremmer, please give us a better explanation of what you mean.
