All you're doing is slapping a principle you think you know from a tiny part of this universe onto an environment you know absolutely nothing about.
There is no reason to consider ANY origin theories until there is data.
I understand that what you say is an inevitable conclusion from your metaphysical beliefs.
Those who hold to Neoplatonic, Vedantic, or Buddhist metaphysics disagree with you.
