What if Earth was not there?

That's what is known as the weak anthropomorphic position.

Same as saying what if my mother never met my father.
If earth was not there, it would be somewhere.
Honestly @jaychamp all this existence stuff has been long sorted out (Cogito, ergo sum is a Latin philosophical proposition by René Descartes usually translated into English as "I think, therefore I am".)
More correctly, In order for there to be a doubt (about our existence) there has to be an entity in existence to express that doubt. All the rest follows by logic.
Well @bunyip then there would be no you, that is pretty simple to answer.

Wait, @chessspy1, so you're saying that existence itself inherently creates the doubt of existence? If existence in general is doubted by itself, it no longer can, thus creating a paradox of infinitely questioning the existence of everything. I, therefore, propose that non-existence itself may exist as a state of being, negating the ability to question one's existence, reconciling this seeming contradiction you've proposed.
No @mewtwo204 Not at all. I thought I made myself very clear, (so there may be something in what you say above (if there is in fact an 'above' at all))
What I said is that we do exist and it is the possibility of doubting that proves it.
