That's true. If you believe that only scientific explanations are acceptable as explanations then that's your choice of course. The explanation for the presence of a scientifically explicable universe, cannot be scientific.God dunnit is not a scientific answer.
One cannot use science to explain the presence of a universe governed by science, it's clearly paradoxical to do so and paradoxical explanations are themselves not scientific.
All scientific explanations make recourse to laws and material quantities, these must exist in order for any material process to take place. So until material quantities and laws exist, we must seek alternative kinds of explanations.
Philosophers have recognized this for centuries as have theologists and meta-physicists, but due to our narrow education system in schools many grow up having no awareness of these kinds of ideas.
