Yes, it exists and it's made up of atoms.  The atoms can either be part of 
ink on the paper, transistors in a computer, or neurons in an animal brain. 
It's like saying "happyness" exists, it only exists conceptually, physically 
it's just represented by atoms.

Cars exist, and they can be created and destroyed, so cars cannot be the 
same thing as energy.  I don't get your point.

Cars also exist, and they are not the same as energy or information, so we 
have at least three different things.  I'm not convinced by your logic 
here...
