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.


Nope. 
I have no metaphysical beliefs,
and you don't get to tell me what I believe.
The most you get to do, is say that in YOUR belief system, you interpret what I say, in YOUR worldview, in a certain way.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
