We honestly do not know. Obviously for this to be a scientific statement, we will have to be able to make some kind of observation to test this proposition. No physicist or astronomer has any clue how to test such an idea, so many physicists and most astronomers view these kind of statements as beyond science. Still, some theoreticians have discovered that very complex 'behavior' emerges from simple elements operating under a set of simple rules.
Complex phenomena seem to emerge from very simple 'rules'.
There have been mathematical 'toy' models of universes created in which no identifiable physical laws are present, not even the principle of relativity, yet upon cooling to low temperatures, something like the laws of relativity emerge even though they were not built into the system initially. If the Big Bang was like that, and it certainly seems to have had a high enough temperature, then one worries just how inevitable our kind of physical laws really are.
