If you want to throw accusations around you actually have to point to something substantial. We have <em>evidence</em> that the micro-world really is different than the macro-world and the laws you are used to with books just don't apply at atomic scales. If you have evidence that contradicts the last 100 years of modern physics, please present it now. I’m sorry, your response was convoluted.

While I would not debate the potential for everything we know about physics and thermodynamics to be turned on its head by new information, the statement that something happens without a cause seems a bit presumptous. If a book randomly fell off of a shelf, and we observed other books falling off shelves, and even if we saw it again and again I don't think we'd so easily jump to the conclusion that it was somehow, 'uncaused!' But it seems like people are more forgiving (and even extatic) when assumptions are made about the micro-word (invisible to our naked eyes) without sufficient understanding.
