The statistical nature of it doesn’t make it any less predictable

Exactly. Similarly, an all-powerful being messing with our world doesn't mean we can no longer make predictions. We just end up with a model with hidden variables that change over time.

An act of god would break at least some predictions, or else it would be indistinguishable from a natural event. Also as a point of fact, QM has no hidden variables, that was proven by Bell's inequality experiments in the 70s. And again, experiments are reproduced every day, the results haven't changed, QM has been a successful and reliable model.

I think you've lost the context for this conversation. No one's disputing the reproducibility of QM experiments or for the existence of hidden variables.
