That is true, but it is consistent with empirical physical evidence about how the universe works. In non-mathematical language the Axiom of Choice says that every event need not have an associated cause, and like all good axioms it is not intuitively obvious that its opposite must be true. And as a bonus it appears that our Universe follows the Axiom of Choice, some things really do happen for no reason, some things are random.
