Do you believe there is a rational explanation for everything?

no there is not.. many things in life are not to be questioned and if they are being questioned are never meant to be answered... this is life .. there are some things in life that you just have to accept them as there is.. if you try to find answers you lose the meaning of life...

Maybe not a 'rational' explanation per say but I do believe there is a non (for lack of a better word) religeous explanation

Assuming logic and reason apply to everything, then yes, there is a rational explanation for everything. We personally may not understand it or know of it, and may never. Or we may. But whatever the situation really is, well, it really is that.

I personally believe everything has an explanation, but, in its own time. Time required for human maturity - for example, the secrets of the atom could have been understood in Genghis Khan's time, and subsequently harnessed, and yet, towards what end? For such warmonger to use the power to conquer the Earth? I mean, in our era, we "harnessed its power", and barely squirmed out of it without major nuclear incidents, so far anyway, and yet we consider ourselves "civilized". Point is, I believe in a Providential plan, in which we are never exposed to a reality which would enable our self-destruction - we may be allowed to come very close to it, but, never to actualize it fully. With this said, point is, we may possess the capacity to understand many mysteries of our reality, whether fully or analogously, still, to understand, but, a higher power I believe is effecting a slow-down so as not to equip us with the means to extinguish ourselves through it.

In short, I believe there is an explanation for all things - but due to self-destructive human nature, we are being administered the doses in a manner which will not lead to ultimate death, even though we could understand everything within a decade, it seems more prudent to reach such understanding within, say, million years. -Pat

just because the explanation is not rational

does not mean it isn't a valid explanation...

There are things that some of us experience and yet,

there is no "Rational" explanation as to Why we do, we may

not understand why it happens, we just know it does...

There is no rational explanation for why the human brain can make rational explanations.

yes i believe there is a rational explanation for everything , the only thing is we should have keen interest n passion for it............

Yes, certainly. Problem is that any explanation may simply be quite wrong.

Yes somethings will never be under stood. Even God said there is somethings that we will never understand. (if you believe in God)

No. I have to believe in magic to be a happy person.
