Well then Platt, we are back to base camp.
You're really asking "What is a good explanation of anything ?"
I'd have to start with the caveats that "scientific" is loaded with
objective, logical postivist "disprovability" expectations (which I
don't hold with exclusively), and causal is well, ... in the eye of
the beholder, illusory even some would say (I don't quite hold with
that, but ...) Common sense is probably better than scientific
causality.
Your pejorative choice of "suddenly appearing" already indicates that
your "open mind" is loaded negatively / sceptically against it though
:-)
Still with me - I will continue if you are (don't let me off the hook
this time).
