Don’t fret - you are in good company. Einstein rejected the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, too. Unfortunately, he was also wrong. Go look it up, and until you fully understand it, and how thoroughly it has been proved, then you probably shouldn’t post anything else about it. Here’s a couple of links to get you started:

Good luck on your quest for knowledge!

From what you posted regarding the Heisenberg uncertainty principle:

We do not know if this indeterminism is actually the way the Universe works, because the theory of Quantum Mechanics is probably incomplete. That is, we do not know if the Universe actually behaves in a probabilistic manner (there are many possible paths a particle can follow and the observed path is chosen probabilistically) or if the Universe is deterministic in the sense that I could predict the path a particle will follow with 100 % certainty.

So, you know, and you alone, that this principle disproves God’s omniscience. Meanwhile scientists, or at least those you link to, say that it is just a theory and probably an incomplete one, and that the universe may indeed be deterministic. It’s sort of like declaring that because you do not personally know God that no God exists . . . same logical fallacy.
