Lots of things exist that are not subject to physics. Like numbers, and the laws of physics themselves.
I actually spent a little time looking into the origin of the word "supenatural" a while ago and as I suspected it dates to the Enlightenment. The concept makes no sense if you believe that God holds up the world every second. After all, "unnatural" used to mean "contrary to God," not "contrary to physics."
