I, too, am no physicist. But I think the view of determinism I expressed earlier, and that you seem to agree with, is rejected by science because it is only a philosophical view and not a scientific one. Science, in order to be relevant, needs an objective observer. So, any data that may conflict with this absolute objectivity is deflected and applied to the object of observation. This, I'm guessing, is how the quantum view of Uncertainty was arrived at.
But, like I said, I don't know. I, also, am interested in hearing from someone who really knows this stuff.
