I will have to think about that.
Do we have examples of things that are truth but make no sense?
Well... making no sense isn't an objective standard. Our human minds are limited and different. I would feel it's unreasonable to expect we would be able to make sense of everything that is true. We explore with scientific methods; that's all we can do really. We can't ever even establish truth; just reliable models. Truth that can be proved only exists in abstract systems.
There are things that are (probbaly) true which would have made no sense to anyone at certain points in history. Thus making sense is not a pre-requisite.
When it comes to the origins of our own reality, when viewed from a viewpoint vastly different from our own "trapped" one, I'd say it's extremely likely it wouldn't make sense to most people.
