I probably should let VanTil answer first, but I feel compelled to say,
that a sentence like you quote may have nothing to do with
quantum-mechanics etc. I believe, that only Christians know The Truth,
that is the truth we read in God's Word about salvation. But no true
Christian will then say: therefor we can have "true" (but this is now
"true" in another context) knowledge of anything physical. Quoting out of
context is not a very nice way to get your point across.
