From a strictly pragmatic observations of the universe, I think this
logically conflicts with your premise that there are no truely random
events. If there are no random events, then there can't be identical
objects - unless there is God. If there are truely identical objects
(atoms) and no random events then GOD - nothing left to explain
half-life. After all, by our defination hard science must be 100%
pragmatic. What we see is what we get.
One of those Copenhagen people said something like "some events are so
random that not even God can know the outcome."
