Is theological evidence dispelled by experience?

Peace be upon our Rabbi Michi.
Is the physico-theological evidence proven by experience that complex things do not come into being by themselves or by logical necessity?
And is the requested assumption to say that there is nothing complex without a component? You claim no, why?

Not a logical necessity but a logical-statistical argument. There is indeed an assumption here that a complex thing is not created without a component. But this is not the desired assumption but a normal and reasonable assumption. From it we deduce that there is always a component. If there are those who think that the complex can be created in a casual manner, this does not prove anything to them, as with any logical argument. But their claim is not reasonable in my opinion.
