The problem with the supernatural is that you are by definition using an argument from ignorance every time you appeal to it. That may sound unfair, but thems the breaks. You can't provide evidence of the supernatural, or else it wouldn't be supernatural. So all you have is "you can't prove me wrong/I can't think of anything else." That is the classic argument from ignorance/incredulity and is invalid logic. This may all seem very weird if you haven't come across a lot of logic before.
Again, this isn't saying you are wrong. It's saying your argument to show you are right is invalid.
