For some reason, I can't think of anything. My mind draws a blank.
Well, I can think of, perhaps, two things:
1. God
2. Human behavior
Now, I love God, and I believe he exists- but I do not think that he is logical.
And psychology- well, I don't think it...I don't think it is a science. Not to say that science is always perfect, but I think that it involves precision and rock-solid answers. But psychology? It's guesswork, is it not?
Please provide any examples of things in the world that are not logical. Thanks!

The discovery in quantum physics that observing an action can alter it - that seems illogical on the face of it. I agree that psychology is a joke - I have hons. and post grad. degrees in psychology and the more I read the worse it gets.

I'm sure Larry The Cable Guy and maybe Jeff Foxworthy could give you an entire list of why we have illogical examples in life.

Lots and Lots of little things are illogical, but here are a few of the big ones:
(1) why do things that are bad for you often seem and feel so good (junk food, drugs, alcohol, etc.)
(2) why do things that are good for you often seem so hard and feel painful (exercise, study, good behaviour)
(3) why do at least some people who are criminal, vicious, murderous, and evil get to live successful, wealthy, pleasant lives.
(4) why do we have to die.

Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injection?
Why are their braille dots on a drive-up bank machine?
Why are the pharmacies in the back so the sick people have to walk further?

Man's belief in something that's totally unsupported by empirical evidence is totally illogical.
