Yeah...just forget that I mentioned determinism. That's a HUGE topic in and of itself.
As for quantum mechanics, yes, things exist with only probabilities, but these probabilities are static. At any one moment, a scientist can know the placement of an electron with, say, 60% accuracy, and its velocity with 40% accuracy. Another time, the percentages may be different. But at any one time, this understanding of the electron is not variable: the percentages are certain. These values define any electron at any moment.
Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm no quantum physicist. It might be a copout, I don't know.
At a later time, I'll delineate how discreteness of space and time seems to me to even make these probabities limited in their precision, and therefore totally finite.
