the fact that we can only start predicting after something has happened, makes randomness exist as a real thing.

ooh, aurora borealis... how'd that happen? Well, there was unusual activity... because of a solar flare, because of a current in the sun, because of ... and so on.

We can predict things we've seen, so long as they manifest themselves in exactly the same way. That's the basis of science. But science hits a wall when you go back way too much.

So we can explain why something happened up to a certain level, after that we don't know anymore. That's where randomness started really, after that 'wall'. It's exactly that which we cannot understand with science.

here's something truly random: a piece of ash. Used to be wood, used to be a tree. Why is it ash? Lightning struck. Why did lightning strike there? tension in the airlevels, and good guidance from the tree. Why good guidance from the tree? because it contains water and minerals and sticks out. So why does it contain water and minerals? and why do they guide the lightning? for that matter, why does tension build up in clouds? Well, a number of things...

as you see, you get more and more questions, which are all perfectly solvable. I'm sure if you went back far enough, you'd get to the beginning of the universe or way below atomic level. And then what? They're still debating what happened before that.

randomness is the seed of reality. Our reality is just a specific set of things that exist in total randomness.
