WTC collapses = controlled demolition is irrational. Why? Because there is absolutely no evidence to support such a theory but lots of evidence to the contrary.

How the buildings came down is not my main concern. I'm not an engineer or a physics expert. To me the main issue is who is responsible.
At this point nothing is proven, so you are right, it is irrational to say with certainty that explosives were used. However it is also irrational to say with certainty that explosives were not used.
I disagree that is irrational to question how they came down. I have heard engineers claim that explosives were used. I have also not seen concrete evidence to the contrary, as you claim to have. Either way, to me this is a secondary point.
I think the public should be demanding an investigation and beyond a reasonable doubt evidence that Bin Laden and co were behind the attacks. It's already three wars too late, but we're still owed that much. Until then, I can't rationally find reason to rule out the possibility that, if not directly involved, the government is covering up the truth about this tragedy. I don't see how any reasonable person can accept the government's claims until they are proven.
To me it's like a kid accepting their mother telling them that if they make funny faces, their face will stay that way. We just believe it because that's what we're trained to do.
