Well it's by the nature of things. For example, no one will believe a lifeless atom can magically cause millions of universes to come to existence every second.
But this can be believable to the supernatural, because the supernatural is left to our imagination. Even if we can't imagine it, we can't imagine it as impossible.
The same is not true of an atom. We are relatively certain an atom can't be creating billions of universes every second.
In the same way, causing itself to exist, we can imagine the creator doing, but we can't imagine material things doing it.
Of course, we can't be sure an atom can't be magically causing a billion universes from simply our imaginative power....but believers might say, we been give some knowledge of the nature of existence...
