We're clearly not in a non-reality nor could we have come about from a literal "nothing".
Well I don't know about its self-evidence, but most if not all things I encounter only exist on the condition that other things exist. How is it self-evident that reality exists without conditions?
Because reality is not the same as this particular universe. It encompasses everything that exists one way or another. That would include even an ultimate entity like God.
