It's a very ill-defined question and open to interpretation and thus probably a very interesting forum question.
The Big Bang theory posits that the universe began from an extremely dense and hot state. If a concentration of matter becomes sufficiently dense, it can lead to the formation of a black hole, where space-time is so curved that not even light can escape. The Big Bang, however, was not a black hole; instead, it was the event that initiated the expansion of space-time itself. According to the theory, time and space as we understand them began with the Big Bang and did not exist before that event.
Perhaps the laws of physics evolve based on the universe they are allowed to play in. If there was no time before the Big Bang then what is god? The entity that clapped his hands to set it all in motion and is just now standing back watching us? (I guess I am anthropomorphizing god to have human hands?) Are we just a seeded simulation of many other simulations? I don't think I can answer the question accurately. (Probably why I lean more towards agnosticism these days)
I hope all is well.
Science starts the universe at an arbitrary point called the Big Bang. As we look out at the universe, farther and farther away, they see snapshots of the past, all the way to a very compact beginning. The logical question is, what laws of nature created the primordial atom, needed for the Big Bang Theory, if the Big Bang Theory says the current forces of nature were not yet in the universe, until after the Big Bang? There had to be a different set of laws in effect, before the current set. Did this formation of the current set of laws, shut off the old set, or are both sets in effect? My guess is both sets are in effect, and what we call random is an artifact of assuming one set instead of two.
Science does there same thing with life, starting the evolution of life at the first replicators, with RNA or DNA magically already formed, just like the primordial atom. Once the primordial atom or the first replicators form, then it is off to the races. However, the unknown that came before that should impact the vector of the theory that follows. The past, before the formation of the primordial atom or the formation of the first replicators, had their own history and laws. Do these just shut off to make easier for science to half bake the universe and life, using the convenient starting points?
As an analogy, say a new person begins employment where you work. They stay very private, so all you really know about them is what you observe during work. Does their private life before you first meet, have any lingering impact on who they are today? The answer is yes. Can you just ignore their formative years, and make up a theory from just the data you know? The answer is also yes. Will those two theories always converge? The answer is no. Maybe that new person is just quiet? Maybe they are in the witness protection program and seek to stay low? Maybe they got fired for sleeping with their previous boss's secretary, and are now gun shy due to being naturally flirtatious. Maybe his wife is very jealous.
In terms of cosmology, dark energy and dark matter were introduced to help explain deeper observational data about superstructures of the universe. However, these two variables have never been seen in the laboratory, to know if they are real or just placeholder variables until the base theory can be updates and/or revised.
Evolution has historical data that shows the stages of evolving life. However, the theory is not solid enough to be used to make future predictions other than qualitative one's. It is more of a correlation of the past, than a fully rational theory for the future. A fully rational theory can correlate the past, present and future since the underlying mechanisms follows the laws of cause and effect, and not dice and cards.
If you assume dice and cards; statistical universe, you can still systematically plot the data of every lottery winner, from every state, since the lottery began in the USA. However, once you get to the present and future, it is a mystery. Dice and cards cannot successfully pick winners, since how that is possible, is not exactly known. This not a fully rational theory, since the mechanism of theory is too volatile, to get a sharp curve to the future. However, many still get excited about plotting the past data; lottery winners, and assume that alone is proof of concept, that dice and cards does not work; beyond 20/20 hindsight.
To break the tie; so we know the past, present and the future, we need to know more about how the primordial atom appeared before the current laws of physics. And we need to know more about what happened leading to the rise of the first replicators. My guess is these past events, that shaped their debut behavior, are there still like lingering vectors, that still help to steer the future.
We live in space-time where time and space act like they are in a three legged race, where two people are tethered together to run as one. This creates a handicap, since both variables are limited by the other. This tether placed limits called the laws of physics in space-time. The speed of light is the fastest you can go in space-time, with speed=d/t the tethered dimensions of space (d)-time (t). In the case of speed these are tethered by division; d/t.
Say we could cut the tether of the three legged race of space-time. Now we would have the two variables, that both lose their former limitations. Now each run the race all by themselves at full speed. The laws of physics would have many more possibilities, if we did not have the tether of space-time. If you could move space apart from time, you could be omnipresent. An electron in an atomic orbital; probability function is omnipresent in its little part of the universe. Omnipresent is also a classic attribute of God; untethered space and untethered time.
From that very flexible untethered beginning, we have the potential for infinite complexity or infinite entropy. Conceptually, this could be the drive behind the second law; entropy for the universe has to increase. In this model our universe of space-time, is suspended within the matrix of untethered space and time. It feels the pull back to infinite complexity and the second law with space-time resisting.
From the position of untethered space and time, space-time could be created; add the tether. This will imposes all types of limitations; new laws of physics appear, compared to the laws in the matrix of infinite complexity. This connects the second law. If we were to connect independent space and independent time with a tether, then we would get energy from nothing, since photons are wavelength and frequency that act as one thing needs a tether to sustain. Also to go from infinite complexity, to a zone of lower complexity; primordial atom, the local loss of entropy, will be very exothermic. The primordial atom formation; space-time, will release free energy and also create photons for the Big Bang out of what appears to be as void, based on the laws of space-time.
The way we close this loop is consciousness appears to be able to process data, as though space and time are not connected. The religions of world believe in things that cannot be proven by science and laws of space-time; God. Consciousness is not limited to just processing the laws of space-time, but can postulate outside that box, since untethered space and time have more options. Human creation in terms of innovation allows humans to create artificial things that do not naturally appear from nature. These are outside the laws, although to be stable in reality, the innovation has to be expressed via material under the laws of space-time; build a bridge.
If you look at science fiction, it is about stories of consciousness evolving and developing the advanced tools needed to extend the laws of physics beyond nature to the extreme artificial. If we extrapolate that, consciousness and its connection to separated space and time, becomes infinite; consciousness merges with creation; God and which came first the chicken or the egg.
