How do you know this?

All observed phenomena follow the principle of cause and effect. Nothing happens but that something preceeding it caused it to happen. If you are aware of anything to refute that basic axiom then please bring it to light.

That's not so cut-and-dry in the world of quantum mechanics. There's, to our current understanding, no cause that says that a given unstable atom must decay right now and not a second ago. There's probabilities distributions, but no actual dice.

That does not preclude there being a cause. The fact that the universe runs on probability distributions for certain events is still part of the chain of causation.
