Hmmm. To be honest it looks like you are redefining the words in order to make them support your argument. Determinism isn't simply an event that has a definite number of causes, and indeterminism isn't simply an event with an indefinite number of causes. Determinism and indeterminism can only apply on the basis that everything in reality is known, and therefore you could see cause and effect completely.
In fact this is why indeterminism and determinism are not branches of science but that of philosophy. Science has commented on indeterminism by saying that the principle of uncertainty (if true) means that aspects of nature are truly random and spontaneous, but this in no way confirms either.
There is a further paradox which sets indeterminism and determinism into philosophy; the fact that an indeterministic and deterministic universe would look exactly the same to an internal observer (i.e. us). There is literally no way we can "re-run" time to see which is true.
