Legitimate scientists and healthcare providers have to say the words,

I don't know, plenty of times in their life.

It's both conceited and preposterous to think we humans on this tiny planet

truly understand all the powers fueling the universe, let alone the reasons for existence.

Though perhaps now only with hindsight, we realize it was foolish to make up stories like

Greek gods, ancient Egyptian deities, and in particularly knowing that large populations

accepted those stories blindly as facts.

We understand why such stories were made up.

A lack of reason for events is difficult for humans to swallow.

To the point, we make up fiction to please a narrative

rather than accept a lack of cohesiveness in our understanding.

So Zeus made lightning, and in another religion,

Ra was the sun god swallowed every night by another god and reborn each morning.

These types of explanations are near daily events in the entire recorded history of humanity. If we can't explain a news event,

there will be plenty of commentators to try and build a narrative as to why people voted one

way or conditions that caused some shooting or whatever else happened. Portions of the truth will

likely exist in each explanation. It depends on the true expertise of the

person talking, but in this unusual moment in United States history, where expertise is less

valued and even looked at as a hindrance by so many people, our narratives drift farther from

data and further into conspiracy and agendas. However, ultimately,

many events don't have great explanations or contain so many complex pieces that contribute to an

event that trying to go from A to B to C is more forcing a logic out of a story that wasn't a real logical occurrence to begin with.
