Suppose I assigned each of the points different spacetime coordinates. Now another point pops into existence at a different spacetime coordinate. The two sets of points are distinguishable because one of them has a point at a spacetime coordinate that the other one doesn't. I don't see the contradiction here.
Um. Why?
In general, I agree with the other comments that this post is unclear and not well-written. In particular, I agree with shminux's comment that your definition of "exist" is unclear. You should taboo it.
