I think that makes perfect sense. I had an astronomy professor say that if we
knew all of the variables that existed between the sun and the earth (and that's
a LOT of variables) then we could accurately predict the weather at any given
time.

As far as proving that nothing is random, that's tough. If you thought you had
something that was completely random, couldn't you make the counter argument
that we haven't found the formula or pattern that makes up the "random"
sequence?
