Heisenberg's uncertainty principle proves that it is impossible for a human being to know both the position and momentum of a particle at the same time

No, according to the superposition principle it is a physical reality. May I suggest the book "The Quantum World," by J.C. Polkinghorne. It is just a light bedtime reading that explains the superposition principle in great detail.

Schroedingers cat is impossible for God. Put the cat in the box. A mechanism kills the cat if a single atom is released from radioctive decay of an element. We do not know if the cat is alive or dead until we open the box. The state of the cat is unknown to us until we observe it. But God does know. It’s human measurement, human limitation, nothing to do with God.

I presume that Mr. Polkinghorne (interesting name btw) is a human and therefore I'll stick w/ my original statement.
