@tinkster thanks. This is already sounding rather Heideggerian! Is the suggestion that vorliegen has an implied reference to some practical situation? E.g. "is there a hammer (for me to bash this nail with)?" as opposed to the more abstract "is there a God"?
- German

For the hammer example you'd say something like:"Gibt es hier einen Hammer, mit dem ... " ...
Same with God "Gibt es Gott? Existiert Gott?"
"Sein" usually comes into play in fairly mundane ways, like "ich bin müde".
"Vorliegen" .... "In diesem Kriminalfall liegen diese Tatbestände vor"
