Depends on what you mean by "correct".
If we have a set of experimental facts and observations, and two
competing theories that explain the facts, the consensus is that the
correct theory is the simplest.
Short of bringing new facts to the table, the more complex theory has no
purpose. But apparently you don't mind adding complexities for the sake
of it.
I know you don't want philosophy, but really it all boils down to what
you mean by truth or correctness. You always seem to be talking about
some definitive and complete truth, which does not exist in the
scientific world. Religion on the other hand is all about it...
