Yeah, those are reasonable answers...not.
Well, let's try your alternative:
"Why is there something rather than nothing?" God did it.
"Why does the world have a rational order?" God did it.
"Why do causes produce regular effects?" God does it.
Are those answers more reasonable?
Except those do not fairly represent the answers....

Let's try this again...
"Why is there something rather than nothing?" I don't know. Let's investigate. Is this even a sensible question?
"Why does the world have a rational order?" I don't know. Let's investigate, even though I'm not sure how it could have an irrational order.
"Why do causes produce regular effects?" I don't know, but is it even possible that causes could produce irregular effects?
Same difference. No answer at all.
