Should "existence" be "existences"?

Context:
Perhaps on rare occasions God does perform miracles. But
for the most part, the existence of free will and of order in the
physical universe are inexorable facts. While we might wish for
such miraculous deliverance to occur more frequently, the consequence
of interrupting these two sets of forces would be utter
chaos.

Existence can be collective or individual.

The existence of fairies, witches and dragons is doubtful

In the UK, one billion animals were killed for food in 2007. Most had short, miserable existences in factory farms
