1. You cannot prove that there is randomness in effect in our system.
2. I cannot find randomness as it applies to our system in the Bible.

How can an event be "random" if you know the outcome? 

(If you flip a coin, and you *know* it is going to land on heads immediately - 
how is that random? Can you use that as a defense in court? ("Your honor, 
randomness happens in our system, so when I aim the gun and pulled the 
trigger I was not "responsible"). [Please do not reply to my hypothetical 
examples, or the thread will get lost taking about gun ownership and the 2nd 
Amendment :) ]
