Do you believe in god, Slimebeast?

Slimebeast is following Einsteins mindset here =P
I don't see why you disagree so strongly with the concept of random Slimebeast - it isn't like magic at all. Random doesn't require the supernatural.

Yes.

Yes, I guess.
It is kinda like magic. Or rather - I see it only like a description, sort of mathematically/like math does, about different phenomenons.
Random is a descriptional term. But it's a nonsense statement when explaining things.
Q: -'Why did the atom decay? Why did it decay at that point in time?'
A -"The atom decayed by random".
Q: 'why did the photon end up at position x at time y'?
A: 'it went there by random'
Q: -'Why did Big bang start?'
A: -'The process started by random"
Is nonsense.

"I don't believe it can be random because nothing can be random". Happy? I don't understand the difference, u have to be more specific - are you referring to certain cirmumstances in a scenario or something?
I am saying that nothing happens by random. It's a nonsense statement, and only a descriptive term for phenomenons when there are factors unknown.

I don't see what is wrong with the first two answers really. The idea that a particle has a probability of being in any position is fairly fundamental to quantum physics - it allows for quantum tunnelling and explains the double slit experiment results. All of the evidence appears to point towards randomness existing.

You've essentially said, "In theory there could be randomness, but nothing can possibly be random." That makes no sense.
If it could be true, then it can't be impossible for it to be true. It's a contradiction.

Oh. I understand. I lost a bit track now, but I think I meant to express that there wasn't anything special about the other dimensions when it comes to randomness. What makes them special is that we can't measure whats going on there (now).
So I guess my choice is the first option, 'it can't be random'.

Any specific religion?

I dunno what to say.
I could say one thing. The probability of of being in any position, as we curently understand or perceive it, could be flawed since we can't detect the 5th dimensions (and 6th). So the particle 'appears' like it's in a specific position. You know how they say that an electron is actually at many places at the same time, but it's 'more' on some places than others? It's got to do with how we perceive the 3 space dimensions and time. But if we knew how the 5th dimension and beyond where constructed, it wouldnt appear probabilistic/random any more.
