A more accurate quote might be, "God does not play dice with the
universe," though I can't quickly find a source to verify this.

I haven't kept up with experiments involving what we know as "Bell's
Inequalities" for a number of years, and my understanding of the
problem was from the perspective of a graduate student in electrical
engineering and not that of a physicist or mathematician. But,
doesn't the bulk of the empirical evidence (eg experiments by Alan
Aspect) indicate that Einstein's intuition about gambling gods was
wrong?
