as long as we are talking about the quantum

Heres the thing I am in Molecular biology and biochemistry so I am almost completely ignorant of what going on in quantum physics and every time I read something about the quantum world it scares the mortal day lights out of me and revolves around one thing. Determinism and Indeterminism. And of course yesterday I ran across this article from 2003 in nature.

I know nothing in biology will ever disprove God, its just not going to happen and I am comforted by that. I am ignorant in physics and in this case what I don't know (pretty much everything) scares me. What bothers me is quantum physics because it underlies existence and the most reductive level. And most physicist subscribe to the copenhagen interpretation and thats ok with me because its indeterminant. I have concluded that indeterminancy is your friend and determinism is the enemy and that may be a totally wrong conclusion. I beleive in God because I feel it is rational to do so and that christianity and nature is rational. So my questions are this.

Nothing in quantum physics really disproves God right?
Regardless of where the pendulum swings with regard to determinism and indeterminism is it still perfectly rational to a serious Christian?
No future quantum discoveries will disprove the existence of God will they?
I mean really, do I have anything to worry about here?

Thanks,
John
