Why is reality so tricky and paradoxical?

[Agrande]

Why does everything seem so random? Does it only seem random to us but not to god? Is everything already pre determined before it ever happens? Is there even such a thing as something being 'free'?

(i know these questions might seem stupid but I want someone to enlighten me on these basic questions)

1) everything is not totally random . It's a duality between randomness and order .

2)us =God.

3)yes everything is predetermined.  

4) no . Free well is anillusion .

It is tricky when you deny yourself God. The paradox is that there is no difference between you and God, despite infinite differences.

Reality is an eternal self unfolding and self attuning, in a sense, paradox. You are the paradox, the rabbit that takes himself out of the magician's hat. And within it another hat, and another, and another, eternally.

Otherwise you wouldn't have atheists and life would be boring without them.

If everything is random, then everything is arbitrary. Therefore nothing is rational. 

Check mate atheists!

But hold on a second there, it is not that easy. Universe coming into being through random processes doesn't necessarily mean that it cannot be rational.

@Parallax Mind Rational does not mean "only material", or based only on quantitative logic.

@Vibroverse an infinite random sequence of sounds will contain Bachs Masterpieces. They might sound logical and ordered but since they come out of randomness they really aren't!

Atheism doesn't necessarily mean absolute randomness, and it is not even clear what we mean by random. And there are many forms of atheism, don't put them all into the same box.

Reality is not random, it is organized by perfect laws at all levels. It is a design of perfection and beauty that goes far beyond what we can see.
