In contrast to earlier views of physics which assumed unknown variables gave the appearance of randomness, but implied the future could be in effect predicted with all the variables.
You're applying an historic "common sense" view of physics to quantum level events, slapping an Unmoved Mover on it, and making spurious claims about the whole thing, when the confusion is a product of the mischaracterization of what quantum mechanics states.
If everything were truly innately random, probability wouldn't exist.
This thread is ridiculous.
Negative Rampant
It is a perfectly valid question to ask from where the randomness we observe in quantum mechanics comes.
Claiming that such questions are ridiculous is like a fundie claiming it is ridiculous to question the bible. You owe it to yourself to do better than the fundie.
