Although as a counterpoint, the cause of the universes's formation cannot easily be construed without a supernatural intervention. The formation of mass in our universe cannot be ascribed to any physical properties or phenomenon, because the second law of thermodynamics is clear: mass (energy) cannot exceed the input energy that is added into it. Who added that initial energy? Obviously these fundamental scientific laws were breached.
The supernatural is not the default position when you don't know something. The universe is almost perfectly balanced between energy and gravitational potential energy, meaning that it took no net energy input for the Big Bang to occur. Which is exactly what we would expect to observe if the universe came from nothing.
0=1+(-1)
or
0=1,000,000+(-1,000,000)
etc.
That fact does not nullify conservation of energy. Moreover, energy can be transferred into different forms, and gravity needs matter in order to be facilitated as a natural force. Energy alone doesn't cut it.
Furthermore, the lack of material origin in an ex post facto manner only suggests a supernatural hypothesis. Again, it does not implicate my personal views on it.
