Aliens.

Where did your imaginary friend come from?

Good question.  I don't know either.  My guess is that he is infinite.

That's not an educated guess, it's an excusive guess.

Mother and father aliens, induvidually. As a species they likely evolved.

Or possibly their many tentacled god, Zarpip.*

I said "tentacled", you degenerates.

I don't have the answers, but I would like the seekers to know that becoming an atheist doesn't give you the answers. It just establishes boundaries that keep you from being open to all possibilities.

At work.

Hello!

So.... uhm.....what question(s) not being asked might such be?

Cheerz!

No. Being an atheist keeps you laughing at some of the "possibilities".

Does anything exist beyond nature?  How did the stuff of the universe come about?  Or did it exist from infinity? Can we know of a supernatural existence through the scientific method, which doesn't have the capacity to determine that?

Nature comes first before any designer.
And every designer is made of natural materials that were here longer before the designer stepped on the scene.

Just a little something to think about before you make arguments that don't hold water.

I think you're kind of ignoring the essential philosophical paradox there.

Where did the natural materials come from?  More nature?  Is it turtles, all the way down?  How?

At work.

1) "Does anything exist beyond nature?"

Hmmmm... good point. Though is that even a coherent question?

2) "How did the stuff of the Universe come about?"

Am kind of sure people like physicists and astronomers and other clever folks are thinking/working on/at just such ideas.

3) "Can we know of a supernatural existence?"

Indeed. Heck, is there even anything supernatural at all?

Adendum. Wait? Why can't science (Hard, Soft or otherwise) poke at things supernatural? Which kind of loops back to 'Is there even a thing which is supernatural?'

Cheers!
