We still very much view the universe as mechanical. Gravity, for instance, is still seen as the bending of spacetime. The typical analogy being a bowling ball on a trampoline. The weighty bowling ball bends the fabric of spacetime causing 'attraction' to anything nearby. Quantum mechanics is enough of flux that I certainly would not say it itself is justification for such grand claims.
