I can't see any use for a category called 'the supernatural', can you? I pretty much think of whatever exists as natural.Not really. The argument for the existence of God as well as biblical events like the Resurrection is not that these things are supposed to occur in nature, but that they were made to happen by something outside of nature.
If a God created the world, he would transcend it and not be subject to any of the laws of nature, because he would have written them.
He 'transcends' that code and all its laws and regulations, because he created it himself. But the programmer still isn't 'supernatural' in any way.
The fact is that if the 'beings' inside this sim were able to discover us, they may not fully ever understand us, but they would learn we not supernatural, we are still a part of their nature even while we exist 'outside' it.
