Nothing is random

This both goes in line with what I had said before, and in a way, contradicts it. Just a short little snippet about a word I really don't like: Random. There is absolutely no such thing as anything being random. There is always cause and effect, and even programs that generate random numbers do so by have a function, that if you know what the function is, you then know what number comes next. In any case, it is a word people use much too often to describe something that either surprised them or seemed to come from a large list of possibilities. Either way, anything that happens, happens because something else happened. In other words, when you do something, it causes something else to happen, a thing which, down the road, might surprise someone. Oh well, it's not random though. One extreme example I can think of right now, is where you take hundreds of peoples names, written around all equally-sized and weighted marbles, stick them in a bag, and pick one out. Though you may not know which name will be pulled out, every little bit of movement each marble makes within the bag is a map to where the marbles have ended up when you decide to stick your hang in and grab one. A typical example is with the flipping of a coin, say a penny. The placement of the penny on your finger, the exact motion that your fingers go through and the amount of force given to the penny, as well as other factors, including air resistance and such, will determine how the penny lands in your palm. It is not random, but is also not something we can figure out during the time penny is in the air. This has gone on much too long, just please stop thinking so many things are random. It just tells me how uneducated you are, or at least, how much you have actually learned in life.
