You might think it natural, for instance, to see all
these galaxies as more or less evenly spread out across
the Universe. But you’d be wrong.
Gee, maybe something like that might point to the idea that, while the big bang surely was a thing, it wasn't actually the very first thing. Just the first thing (or rather the oldest thing) our grasp of science has been able to latch onto. But woah, woah, woah! Who would dare hypothesize such a thing without extraordinary evidence? A heretic, that's who!
