Meaning of Exist, Real and Absolute Philosophically Speaking

 Was it Kierkegaard who hated the use of the word 'absolute'? That word is derived from absolve that means to free from blame. Most people don't use it that way. He didn't like Hegel's work much and Hegel used the word quite a bit. It doesn't add any meaning to anything really. Absolute is used as a sort of super adjective. For instance in Hegel's 'Realms of Absolute Spirit' (if I recall correctly that book is a kind of abbreviation of the Phenomenology of Mind). It is one of the more over-used words in philosophy, or was. Exist does stand apart. It means one is talking about the condition of being itself. Exist is a basic philosophical word; one of reflection on being. Real is a comparable term although perhaps a lesser one. It seems to mean that something does exist.

Diversity of Life Declines

A naturalist I read quite a while ago said that the most successful life forms are those that exist the most time, through disasters and mass extinctions and those are prokaryotes I believe it was. He said that large complex life forms like humans are far more vulnerable and tend to be short lived in the context of time. It's an interesting idea. The meek shall inherit the Earth.

If the Universe is deterministic that is consistent with deterministic evolution following a Hegelian or Designer's schematic, and obviously that is one of a large set of possibilities with a degree of uncertainty. If the future already exists and thought switches to an appropriate universe at each disjunct one should expect an infinite variety of apparent rather than actual evolutionary forms to appear to comprise the right elements for the thought.
