I question whether awe and wonder about this giant mostly-unstructured human-hostile death trap we call a universe is an appropriate emotion for a rationalist. Morbid fascination, maybe -- Lovecraft and Teller, not Sagan.
"Wonder" is the emotion that smells a bit off to me. Can you feel that if you are not enamored of mysterious answers?
Yes. See Sense of Wonder for examples.
