Why is Randomness so Hard to Prove?

[purnell]

Lestat, I (and probably everyone else here) understand your difficulty with accepting determinism. Don't let it worry you- it's merely the logical result of refusing to believe in supernatural entities. None of us can do anything other than pretend that we have free will.

The dice behaving in an apparently random manner is not sufficient to prove genuine randomness exists. Even the things physicists observe are not sufficient in my view.

Just because we cannot see deterministic reasons for an event, it does not follow that there are none. As I hinted at in my excerpt above I do not think determinism can be proven either, so I think we are just out of luck on getting a conclusive answer to this question.
