Not all quantum physicists would agree that God does not play dice (metaphorically speaking). I believe that the model of QM that Sean Carroll holds to is, if I'm not mistaken, a deterministic one.

The problem with those deterministic models (Bohmian mechanics) is that they only work for classical quantum theory. Once you go to the special relativistic side (quantum field theories), they fail miserably. So, effects like spin and anti-matter are not explained by such theories.

Also, Bohmian mechanics violates the 'local' aspect: there is faster then light signaling, which in a relativistic situation means reverse-time causality.

What about Many-Worlds Interpretation? Which is what Sean Carroll believes is the correct one (not Bohm's interpretation).
