You should look into the context of other things that was pretty much discovered by luck. Becquerel found something weird with Uranium and Curie found few other materials with radioactive properties without having any sort of theories or prediction at that time.
The question is that if radioactive elements were not naturally present in Earth, would we have known they exist?
