nothing needs to be explained. humans can't understand everything. everything and everyone has some limit. reason won't explain everything. be happy with explanations that work for the moment and then get on with it. proving or disproving god won't fix your day.
the reality of existance is enough and if it's not, that's too bad. you're not getting any better than that.

Ah yes, back to our philosophical roots...does the "Logos" (thought form, speech etc) actually represent anything but itself?
(I think therefore I am? The map is not the territory?)
I liked R.A.W.'s thoughtful explanations, including:
"Reality" is what doesn't go away when you stop "believing" in it.
and the everpresent contribution from "unknown":
“Reality is the only word in the English language that should always be used in quotes.”
