What is an event? For an even to be an event, does it not need to be observed? That seems to be implicit in the definition. If everything we know is the result of observation, how can we possibly know what is beyond the realm of observation? Also, you say that human activity cannot determine the order in which events occur. That's just not true, Einstein proved that there was no such thing as synchronicity and that seeing two events as simultaneous depends on your reference frame/speed.
