Relatively speaking, yes.
Randomness, thinking in statistics and scientific observations, means what we see lacks of pattern or predictability.
What we call "random" are things that don't seem to follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Key word, "intelligible." From our imperfect, human perspective, things appear random.
But in reality, everything is caused, and not random.

No, randomness is an illusion that is created to trick us small-headed beings into believing there doesn't exist a greater power.

Humans are pattern seeking creatures that can be fooled. The most foreign concept to the mind is randomness. We’re attracted to fortune tellers because they give an alleged meaning to random events.
I don’t believe in any intelligent designer of the universe. Randomness is fact.
