We tend to assume that something that has always existed would possess qualities that are beyond the natural. If there was simply nothing and all of a sudden there was something, then that is also something that natural science can't explain. Either we assume that there is a natural explanation and have to live without knowing, or we open up to the possibility that there may exist something that is not part of our natural world. Using science to prove the existence of the supernatural is like using mathematics to prove evolution. Math doesn't have the capabilities to do that.Maybe the concepts of existence/non-existence, something/nothing, etc. are wrong?

The concepts we naturally use are not necessarily the only abstractions. They work for many things, but they might not work for all things.
