It is certainly true that, from the perspective of an observer,
the universe is non-deterministic. This should not be interpreted
to imply that there are truly "free" (non-causal) events.
Therefore, the term "random" should not be taken to mean
non-causal, but instead, unpredictable. Therefore terms such as
"random" are only relevant with respect to conscious observers
and play no actual role otherwise. In other words, the fact that
there are events for which we cannot determine a cause, should
not be interpreted to be non-causal events. One logically might
as well assert God in such cases.
