I think you will find many views of reality that fulfil all of those criteria for those that hold them, whilst, at the same time you will not find any view that is universally accepted.
Notice the part about being rational and empirically verifiable? That criteria does not change from person to person. So no, I would hardly find any views that fulfill all those criteria - even for the person holding them regardless of what that person believes.
The strange thing is that there are believers in all variants of religion that will claim their belief to be rational and empirically verifiable - with countless others to back up their opinion.
I would argue that this necessitates accepting that rational and empirically verifiable does indeed vary from one individual to another. William Craig Lane is a good example of someone who believes all the above about his own arguments.
