Yes, there are dissenters, but there are always are. For example, one
very eminent geologist to the end of his days refused to believe in
continental drift. Now, everyone knows it's true. Even Einstein
refused to believe in quantum theory ("God does not play dice with the
universe").

That wasn't about quantum theory.

The original, from a private letter to Max Born:

<<Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me
that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not
really bring us any closer to the secret of the Old One. I, at any
rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice.>>

As you can see, he is misquoted, but it is about quantum mechanics.
