Carol,
Glen and Parse have already given nice answers, but I want to give my perspective as well.
Classic mechanics corresponds to relativity at low velocities, relativity didn't overturn the old theory. That the magnetic field is a low velocity relativity effect in Maxwell's equations were only realised after relativity come, and that didn't overturn the old theory.
Classic mechanics corresponds to quantum mechanics at large masses or dimensions, quantum mechanics didn't overturn the old theory. A quantum systems wavefunction develops causally and deterministically until decoherence, the statistical nature didn't overturn the old theory.
As a matter of fact, since classical systems diverge exponentially and quantum systems linearly, it is *harder* to get a quantum system to exhibit the chaos and entropy of a coarsegrained classical system. The coarsegrained probabilistic nature of classical systems are naturally mixed with the finegrained probabilistic nature of quantum systems, quantum mechanics probabilistics didn't overturn classical probabilistics.
So who am I to overturn your old thinking systems. ;-)
