Is there nothing that doesn't exist?

Ok, my friend Steve and I got into an arguement about God's existence. I said, "You can't think of a color that doesn't exist. You can think of new colors, but you only take already existing colors and mix them up. Therefore, it's impossible that ancient people thought of God without some supernatural cause."

He was stumped. But then, he said:

"Well, the wheel didn't exist before people thought of it, therefore you can think of things that don't exist."

Guess who was stumped this time?

So then I startead to think, maybe everything exists all the time? Do things exist before they are "invented?" I mean, maybe something doesn't have to come into physical existence to actually "exist?"

Do I sound really stupid, or does it make any sense?
