There are some sub-atomic particle physicists that would disagree with you. But that's an entirely different thread.

yes, well, for a physicist to tell me that i do believe in randomness, when i say that i do not, would be silly and not very persuasive.

The physicist will not tell you what you believe, only that the data indicates true randomness at a sub-atomic level. Whether you choose to ignore the data or not is your choice.

alright fine then. i will permit that, so long as it remains sub-atomic. my simple mind can then conceive of it as a boundary of quantification. this is my final offer.

Deal. The damn physicists still can't explain how randomness at a sub-atomic level scales up to determinism on a cosmic scale.

I think that many scientists that SAY sub-atomic particle behaviour is random would, on closer inspection, admit that it SEEMS random because they are as of yet incapable of predicting it. But, just because something appears random doesn't mean it is random -- it just means we can't understand it (yet)! Perhaps similar to the article saying that autistic minds are more random? We probably aren't more random, just different, and they can't decipher it (yet)! Our minds are like sub-atomic particles in the face of science. 8)
