Do you think reality consists of sequences of complex but deterministic events which we currently cannot assess, or do you think there is true randomness? Why?

Just for fun, had this conversation with a friend earlier. I think I’m in the deterministic boat.

Another philosophical puzzle in Stats is whether, by probability, we mean subjective uncertainty or objective frequencies.  This is the Bayesian versus frequentist debate.  

Also, how do you know the right way to model the probabilities of events?  Say you are trying to predict the life expectancy of an individual.  You could just take the human average.  But you could factor in race, gender, diet, ... could you factor in height?  It probably doesn't tell you much but it would also be surprising if every height group had exactly the same life expectancy.  Factor in religion?  How do you even decide who's which religion--lots of people are easy cases, but lots aren't--how do you even decide what a race is when the boundaries between races are very ill-defined and not the ones that current society operates on.  If you had infinite data (so that every factor's level has a large representation in the data) would you count every possible description of a person as a predictor?
