No. Alexandra was in love with her husband. She saw Rasputin as being a holy man sent to her by God. Her son was sick and she needed him to heal the Heir. Rasputin's place in the Imperial Family's life was misunderstood because the Family told no one that the Heir was ill. This in turn was used by revolutionaries to discredit the Imperial Family.
Rasputin's role in history can be defined in many ways- "shaman", "madman", "Mad Monk", or even "doctor". Recall that Tsar Nicholas the II's son had hemophilia. Fearing that they would not have a Romanov heir, the Tsar & the Tsarina were immediately drawn to Rasputin. He supposedly had healing techniques that "cured" Tsarevich Alexei. Because of his successes, the Tsarina placed a lot of trust in him. In turn, Rasputin would come to advise not only Alexei and the Tsarina, but also Tsar Nicholas the II in political affairs.
Because the VC were the enemy.
Yes, most of the family supported Rasputin, Although he died before the Tsar abdictated the throne. Well, to be more specific, the Tsar and Tsarina, as well as their children, loved Rasputin who provided them with great spiritual comfort, as well as easing the episodes of the hemophiliac tsarevitch. However, the Tsar's mother, uncles, cousins, and other relatives hated Rasputin and the Tsarina, who was not Russian by birth (she was born in Germany and raised in England). So Tsar Nicholas and his immediate family were somewhat isolated from the other relatives because of their disaste for both the Tsarina and Rasputin.
They were first cousins through marriage. Kaiser Wilhelm II mother, Vicky, was a daughter of Queen Victoria of England. Nicholas II was not descended from Queen Victoria himself but his wife Alexandra was the daughter of Queen Victoria's daughter, Alice. They were also more distant cousins in blood because Paul I of Russia was great-great grandfather of both. Also both Kaiser Wilhelm and Czar Nicholas had a cousin in common- King Geoge V of England, however they were each related to him in different ways. Nicholas' mother, Dagmar of Denmark, and George's mother, Alexandra of Denmark, were sisters. George's father, Edward VII of England, and Wilhelm's mother, Vicky, were brother and sister - children of Queen Victoria.

Prince Phillip is great nephew of Tsarina Alexandra, wife of Czar Nicholas II and Grand Duchess of Russia. Prince Phillip's maternal grandmother Victoria (not Queen Victoria) and Tsarina Alexandra were sisters. Prince Phillip is also related to the Russian Grand Duchess because she was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Phillip is the great great grandson of Queen Victoria. When the grave of the Czar's family was unearthed and examined in 1991, it was Prince Phillip's DNA that was used and found to be an exact match in determining that the remains were those of the Russian Royal family.

Queen Victoria's son, King Edward VII, married Alexandra, daughter of the King of Denmark. Alexandra's sister Maria married Tsar Alexander III and Nicholas was their child.Also, Queen Victoria's grandaughter Alix married Nicholas.
Grigori Rasputin was the so-called "mystic healer" and advisor to Tsarina Alexandra of Russia. He gained significant influence over the royal family, particularly due to his perceived ability to help Tsarevich Alexei's hemophilia. Rasputin's presence in the royal court was controversial and contributed to the downfall of the Romanov dynasty.

He influenced the Tsar because he was known as the faith healer, and was believed to have mystical powers to cure the tsarevitch Alexeis of his hemophilia. Also Alexandra was very fond of him because she believed he could cure her son.
Please specify who Nicholas is for a better answer.
Tsar is the Russian term for the equivalent of an emperor. They are considered emperors/an imperial family because that is what they are.
Because if scientists aren't open-minded, they could try to discredit or change the results of a valid experiment, or not accept a theory that may actually be right, and discredit the theory, therefore stopping progress in science.
