Just as an aside, a number of great thinkers, Einstein notwithstanding, have come to believe (usually near the end of their lives) that there is indeed a pattern in random events. Arthur Koestler comes to my mind, a total atheist, yet in his memoirs "The Invisible Writing" he suggests that in the midst of the chaos that marked his life there was a mysterious pattern to events that he was unable to fathom. Pascal and Fermat, I believe, also tried to come to terms with uncertainty, and as a result developed a theory on probability, yet their letters to each other suggest they too believed there was something more going on in life's random events than they could understand.
