He was not wrong, far from it, but you don't need to know that,
because you're not into PURE science, not like he was.
Most scientists aren't into PURE science, like the was.

Mark Twain was a determinist.
In "The Grand Design", 2010, Stephen Hawking said:

  it seems that we are no more than biological machines
  and that free will is just an illusion.

I never objected to the "God doesn't play dice" thing.
I objected to your    " [Einstien] had to admit that 
    the Copenhagen interpretation was MORE ACCURATE 
    than he was comfortable with "    notion.

Einstien subscribed to "The Ensemble Interpretation" which says, 
basically, that Quantum Mechanics is merely statistical, 
not complete ( " correlation does not imply causation " ).
