To me, it seems like evolution. Because when you get down "to the metal" of the universe, it's really just a bunch of dirty hacks that are thrown together and give off the illusion of uniformity and grace. The way things work at a macroscopic level seem so grand and ultimate, but on the microscopic level of all that it's utter chaos. Random acts of chemical bonding happened to create the life forms we interact with every day, including each other. The universe is a giant hack job, and I think it evolved that way. I'm a big believer in the "multiple nested universes" theory that our universe began as an offshoot of another, parent universe, and that some of the larger/heavier black holes in our universe could be gateways to other child universes.

I'm curious, how can you be a "big believer" in something that is entirely made up with absolutely no evidence of any sort to back it up? And how do you mean, dirty hacks. Our fundamental physics nowadays is quite elegant, I'd say, and still we have many questions still to be answered and much deeper to delve till we hit the "bare metal". We've only been in the universe-figuring-out business for real for about 200 years after all!
