It's that way because it's predetermined to be that way.... <g>
 
Seriously though, we cannot tell whether the universe is predetermined
or if it contains genuine randomness. All we can do is believe one
way or another....

And beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ..... you think randomess
is beuatiful, while I see the beauty in e.g. being able to tell when
the next solar eclipses happen where I live (or anywhere else), even
centuries into the future! (sadly, my hone town Stockholm won't see
another total solar eclipse until some time in the 2900's --- but at
least I know that).
