***Quantum mechanics implies that there are certain things that cannot possibly be done, even by God, such as measuring with infinite precision the both the momentum and the position of a particle.***
"Implies"! Ha!
Since you seem to know the secrets of the universe, tell me how many hairs are on your head.
Tell me khow many days you have left to live.
Not a very good answer. What you should have said was that God spans all universes so observes all possible outcomes of the wave function collapse. This enables him to observe the same particle in both states.
But of course you instead go on about some claim never made by Stremba. Lost opportunity.

Yes, Petronius, you missed my point, which was not to state that there's no possibility that QM might be false or that I have all the knowledge of the universe, but rather that there are areas of science that are or can be twisted to be in more direct conflict with the Bible than can evolution. Why don't Biblical literalists complain and fuss about these areas of science and leave evolution alone for a while?

Thanks for the posting tips.
What I was pointing out to stremba was the utter foolishness of positing this or that about what God knows about His own universe when stremba doesn't know the number of hair on his own head!

Wouldn't that move all particles from Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statisticts into Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics?
