I am assuming you are being sarcastic. But the fact is, I do NOT believe everything can be explained with logic and/or science. I think some things are explained by the decisions of individuals, and will not presume to think that psychology or sociology or anything else can "explain" these things. They can provide statistics, but you know about how they can be misused.
Ultimately, free will implies that we have moral and ethical choices to make which are beyond science and logic. They do rely on science and logic for evidence as to the best decision to make, but those choices have to be made in the light of an individual's values. If I value friendship more than economic stability, I may be more generous with my friends than I can reasonably afford. If I am especially fond of books and movies on DVD, I may risk my economic well-being to increase my library of these materials. Only the individual can make the ranking of importance to conflicting values, and so that is not subject to either science or logic.
There are certainly values which humanity needs to promote, such as compassion, courage, honor, etc. But exactly how these values apply to a given situation depends on the individual and any advisers he may choose to consult.

True, it is harder to explain things with logic and science, since we have the burden of actually looking to find the explanations. It would be a lot easier for us if we didn't have to think about anything, and we could just say that an imaginary sky being made everything happen the way it is.
Of course, we're too smart to say things like that.

Actually, I don't think everything in this world can be proven with science. Some things are just. But continue with your assumptions.

Uppity little posts like this are part of what makes my desire to go nowhere near "God" and his believers even stronger. Thank you! I believe in my own mind and what I can see and feel and you believe in an invisible man who sits in the clouds. That's so special.

Do you know how REAL it is that everything can be explained with logic and science.

It's more logical than believing the world was created by something with no creator.

Since you are a theist, it would probably be useless for me to point out that you are trying to use logic to ridicule logic.
