Yes, when confronted with the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle.
However, just because it seems random to us doesn't mean it's random to
God.
You should not run your life based on the outcome of (seemingly) random
events (e.g. coin tosses) because you don't know if God is choosing
direct you that way ["Do not put the Lord your God to the test."]. My
experience has been that He does not make his direction for me known
indirectly. He tells me pretty clearly.
