First the existence of God is not a proven fact.

To believers it is a proven fact through direct experience of God.

Secondarily, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle proves that an Omniscient God cannot exist, because it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of a particle at the same time.

OK, I'll bite. Heisenberg was a Christian. How does a theory in science disprove God? Did Heisenberg address what and how God knows at all in his theory or are you just misapplying it? DOH!

“To believers it is a proven fact through direct experience of God.”

Fair enough, but that’s not a proven fact in the sense that “the earth is round” or “George Bush is president” are proven facts. It’s not objectively provable and your “direct experience,” while certainly very real and very powerful to you, is not something that others can be privy to or verify on their own.

He was also a Nazi, and Einstein hated the implications of the the equation and spent most of the rest of his life trying to disprove it, only to fail utterly.

Heisenberg's theory is very basic, but it proves that if the position is determined the momentum cannot be known. It is why electrons don't spiral into the nucleus. The theory explains much of the known universe.

The synthesis of all of this is that nothing can be known with certainty. God indeed does roll the dice and even he has to wait to see what the outcome is.
