I'm asking whether synchronicity is plausible or is it just us trying to justify patterns that we observe.

I'm not sure I understand the second bit. The universe isn't a 'man-made construct', that much seems clear. I'm unclear as to what you mean by 'find patterns in supposedly randomly given data.' If there are patterns, then the data aren't random. Given by whom?
