Re: Is the Universe irrational?
Can't say I was satisfied with the poll choices I was offered.
The universe is spectacularly reliable about obeying the laws of nature at all times. This surpasses the most rational human's efforts at adhering to whatever code of logic or ethics or morals he subscribes to.
The universe meets any reasonable interpretation of "rational" that I can see - but that doesn't obligate me to agree that God created it or that there is supposed to be some 'higher purpose' to the way events unfold over time. My belief (yes, I admit I can't prove it's right, but noone's succeeded in shaking me from it either) is that everything from the existence of the universe to the way people act is neither more nor less than a logical consequence of the set of laws under which the whole system is operating.
