The reason that it's absurd to mix logic and the supernatural is the following problem: if you say that everything logically must have a cause, then what caused God? Obviously, a theologian escapes from this by saying "God is not bound by the rules of logic," but then what the hell is the point of bringing logic into the issue in the first place? If you say that God conforms with logic, then you've removed any ability for him to be an uncaused cause, because you've violated one of the axioms the argument employs.
You can't "prove" or "disprove" a concept like God, since we've removed it from the scientific and rational rules that apply to us. Either you believe or you don't.
