Relativity and Chance

Bergson rejects Einstein's concept of Relativistic Time, on the grounds that any denial of Simultaneity expresses a comparison that presupposes a vantage point from which Simultaneity obtains.  He could furthermore argue that a universe of non-Simultaneity is a universe constituted by random encounters, i. e. that Relativity entails Chance.  But, Einstein insists that God does not play dice with the universe.  Hence, Bergson could conclude, Relativistic Time is precluded by Einstein's own Theological principles.
