Explain the unexplainable? Is that like attain the unattainable? Build the unbuildable? Sink the unsinkable?

I don't feel the need to explain the unexplainable. Just because I do not have the available knowledge to explain it, does not mean that someone else doesn't.
In the meantime, I do not have to attribute it to anything else, but something natural, seek advice from knowledgeable experts, and if it is still unexplained. I leave it as that.
Someday, humanity will find all the answers we are looking for, in a non-supernatural context. We don't have to know everything right now.
Have patience.

Just because an atheist refuses to believe your religious mythology, it does not follow that atheists believe in nothing beyond themselves. This atheist believes in Truth -- testable, varifiable, and repeatable. When something is unexplainable, it merely means we don't know all the facts yet. It certainly does not imply that something supernatural has occured.

I believe in plenty of things that are beyond myself. I just don't believe in a magical invisible man who controls everything.
There's nothing that is "unexplainable". Only things that we haven't been able to explain yet. And I'm comfortable with the fact that they won't be explained until human science advances to the point where they can. I don't feel the need to fill in all gaps of knowledge with "God did it". I believe that's nothing but intellectual laziness and it prevents us from seeking real answers.

It is only in the ABSENCE of belief that you can know ANYTHING for certain and explain what most perceive as the unexplainable!

I don't.
Science is observing the world/universe and learning more and more every day. If anything, it's far more vast, glorious, myserious and awesome than what is described in any holy book.
I get a kick out of the possibilities (does anyone remember the Science Times where they said the universe might be shaped like a doughnut?) and greatly enjoy the mystery.

Seeing as how it's "unexplainable" I don't try. Why would you explain something that's genuinely unexplainable? Doesn't this mean that any explanation is wrong?

Most things were a mystery or unexplainable at some time. Give it some time.

Everyone tries to gain an understanding of the world around them. Our understandings don't get very far beyond our little spheres. We all speculate, some of us try to keep our speculation reasonable, without superstitious garbage in the way.

I can live with the fact that some things are beyond our comprehension at this time. Many people can't do this so they create religions and myths to explain them.
