Put the 2 piles of blue balls into the urns and then put the reds on top.

Your friend is likely to only take a ball from the top.
You could combine this with the original solution. Put one red ball in one urn and then when you put the balls in the second urn put the blue ones in first and the red ones on top of them. If you happen to know that your friend is likely to choose a ball from the bottom then you should put the red ones in first.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
