My views have somewhat changed

RE: My views have somewhat changed
Like everyone else, I want to say that this is great news. You're taking the first steps into a larger world.

I'd advise caution, however, in conflating unexplained by science with unexplainable. The first happens all the time; the second is impossible to know. If something seems to defy explanation, it's a very good sign that there's information we're missing - and that leads to scientific enquiry.

"To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable - only unexplained."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
