I presume you mean mortal

The spell checker doesn't see the error...mortal, in context, of course. Did you have to ask, or does context not matter to you?

As to quoting you, the quote was accurate and a great opportunity to praise God!

It was accurate, but out of context, an excerpt cherry-picked for desired effect.

As to wave/particle duality - it stands as a great example of the observer problem. What the observer sees depends on the observation made

The observer problem exists inwardly as well as outwardly. Inward "observations" can be just as relative and misleading as those outwardly ones.

So does the uncertainty principle, by the way, stand as a great example. The observer can know momentum or location but not both

Very good! These wave/particle issues simply tell us what every honest scientist should be able to admit: we do not know the true nature of light or electrons or gravity or anything for that matter. What we know is what we discover through our working models.

Just as a spiritual person should be able to admit that we do not know God as He really is, and that what we know of Him is through our "spiritual" working models.

In either case, we have limited human working models.

I would never intentionally quote Scripture out of context, but as far as doing that to you to praise God, well carpe diem! I'd do it again.

You also said:

One should never confuse faith and reason. They are complimentary, but by the will of God, reason cannot substitute for faith.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. - I Corinthians 1:18-25

Man is not the measure of God.

To God be the glory!
