Maybe rational and irrational just cause a fallacy. Maybe there can be a spectrum of points. Believing because of empirical evidence is definitely rational. However, a proposition without evidence (which you define as irrational) may be plausible or implausible. So instead of rational/irrational, how about rational/plausible/implausible?
