galaxy which seemed older than the supposed age of the universe, but the model just expanded to fit the data. They even found a curvature of space that mirrored a cosmological constant, but it just became dark energy. We have Inflation Theory to explain how the CMBR could be as smooth as it is, yet this miraculous expansion of space itself ignores an otherwise stable speed of light. There are quasars seemingly ejected by galaxies which have drastically different redshifts. None of this matters to the experts, because the entire universe began at a singularity and the case is closed. Why is that? Any particular structure, be it an individual ant, or the Catholic Church, needs to enforce a linear order in order to exist, let alone survive. Otherwise its constituent material becomes energy for those other orders which compete with it. This fact of nature is elemental to the human psyche and is exhibited throughout all our social institutions, as the prerogatives of survival compete with and often overwhelm functions of purpose. So how is it that this singularity of focus should be imposed on our description of the entire universe? Obviously we understand the difference between eco-systems and entities and while entities need this top down singular focus, eco-systems are a function of bottom up multiplicity of interaction. Other than that pesky redshift, it would seem quite reasonable to think of the universe as an ecosystem of galaxies and other formulations of energy and mass, so why must
