I've argued in other threads in this and other forums against strict determinism (non probabilistic) on philosophical grounds. The probabilistic formulation of quantum mechanics is still the standard view, but it seems to irritate some who post in PF. They would seek a fully deterministic theory of nature that would satisfy those who take Einstein's view that "God does not play dice". The linked article proposes a view that there are no causal laws but that the probabilities of physical processes are invariant under a group of symmetries.
