To someone who won't accept the existence of the supernatural, it makes no sense. Also a universe that was not created is not necessary as an explanation either. It's just one of many possibilities. You just rule out the supernatural out of hand even though people have testified to it throughout history - educated and sophisticated people by the way, including top scientists.
Never argued that an uncaused universe is a necessary explanation for its existence, only that there's no sound reason to argue that it's not uncaused.
Whether or not I accept supernatural explanations has nothing to do with the point I'm making here. Also, try to avoid appeal to authority when necessary as it proves nothing in this case.
