If we knew the exact age of an atom of radioactive material, would we be able to predict its alpha and beta decays?

Current theory strongly suggests this is absolutely random.  This is known as the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics.

The alternative is the hidden variable explanation, there is some non-random mechanism, we just can't see it.  

Scientists have been looking for these hidden variables ever since Copenhagen, but have found little evidence for it.  In fact, Bell's Theorem puts serious restraints on what form these variables can take.

Science is about finding the best explanation for what we observe, no matter how strange it may seem.  Theory and experiment point to randomness, so it would be unscientific to discard this explaination.
