Hi tj, The 'randomness of nature' angle is just another theory. Perhaps its in our nature to rationalize our world but whatever label we pin to it is only ever just that - a label. Some labels work sometimes and in some contexts, so they have their uses. I guess science couldn't function without them but you know more about that than me. Regarding the Vajrayana angle, I also find it completely valid as I have HYT empowerments and training. It comes down to how its understood etc.
