Ive found that happening with me. The more I know, the more I know I dont know, and the less sure I am about things like the afterlife, the before the world existed stuff, etc.
Too sad, because the more I read. pray, and meditate on the Word, the more I am convinced that the Word informs me on everything and I question nothing about the truth.
Maybe you should just stick to the Word, and ignore anything and everything that tries to explain to you what you read.
The best commentary on the Word is the Word itself.
Try reading the Bible like you do a novel, then read it again, and again, and again. Stop trying to figure it out, and let the Holy Spirit speak to you.
I promise you will see that it all makes sense, even those things about the Universe, and time you were unsure of. Never question the Words of the Bible, always question the information ungodly men give you, because they only care about leading you away from the truth and into hell. Never ever question God's Word, because God want's you to be with Him in heaven.
Remember, the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:25)

You’re missing my point. I have learned to acknowledge that today we see “as through a glass darkly”. There are things we can know, absolutely. But other things we can’t - e.g. the number of “days” it actually took God to create the earth, or how long people suffer if they don’t accept Jesus’ free gift, or the nature of the suffering, or its purpose.
Did Mary die a virgin? Is drinking alcohol permissible? Etc.
