Here you are providing a cause for the magic rabbit, and if the universe functions according to laws, then everything is determined. That basically defeats your own argument.
Quote: but nobody predicted it because "we just lack accurate enough data." All it would prove is that some things cannot possibly be predicted-- which is already the case for almost everything in the universe more complicated than billiard balls, taxes or death.
That also defeats your argument. You're saying, I can't predict because I don't know, which means, if I knew, I would be able to predict.
Good job.
