Mung asks:
"DA, are things so black and white? If this is the case then why is there so much that we do not understand?"

Black and white does not imply simple. The progress of science is based upon a combination of theory and experiment. Theory leads to experiment to verify it. And experiments with unexplained results lead to new theories that again need to be tested. It is a circle spiraling in on the truth.

Give me infinite lab resources and I will test any theory. Give me infinite intelligence and will design the laboratory. I have neither.
