Of course you haven't.

Most likely, your fundamental block here is that you think that there is one "best" explanation for anything.

You are not understanding that there can be multiple explanations for the same thing, and many of these multiple explanations can be very different, yet simultaneously correct.

What is happening is that you are tending to settle for one possible explanation which strikes you as the most reliable, and you then proceed to dismiss the rest.

Why is a leaf green? You get different answers, depending on whether you listen to a child, a physicist, a chemist or a neuroscientist explaining how the brain interprets certain kinds of electrical signals running from the optic nerve of the eye to the brain.
