The supernatural is by definition not bound by time and space as it is transcedant. Once you understand that your puny argument does not even apply by the very definition of the word, you may comprehend the gravity of what is coming out your mouth.

Remember, the focus of the argument is that the supernatural must exist, not how it could exist.
Well, little boy, there's a problem here.

Temporality is a construct based on action and its speed. Even if a supernatural being were acting beyond our time, we could still call it temporal because it is indeed acting. So if there's such an insistence among weiners like yourself that the supernatural is non-temporal, then supernatural beings could not act or even think, since these are temporal concepts to begin with. We could not say, then, that "God created the universe," because God creating something would be a temporal action, and if we're claiming that he's non-temporal, He couldn't create at all, since it would take time.

And your precious argument isn't as sound as it seems.

All existing things are caused
Reality is an existing thing
Therefore, reality was caused

Can you see the problem?

All existing things are caused. Gee, if the supernatural was an existing thing, wouldn't the SUPERNATURAL BE CAUSED? You fucking douchebag.
