You don't know that.

hit me.

Which path a photon will take in a doubleslit experiment with both slits open, quantum leaps, hell, even the Schroedinger's Cat experiment is based on the fact that atomic decay is 100% random. I'm sure there are more, too.

And yes, it is possible that there are equations and forces to explain those things, but it's also equally likely that they're purely random. Considering how much we know about those phenomena and how not close we are to finding equations governing them, though, I'm inclined to believe the latter.

Also, thanks, FFR, for making me rewrite this post. /me grumles.
