You can believe in both, as long as your particular religion doesn't demand that you believe ridiculous things that you'll have a hard time reconciling with science.
All this about quantum superposition is just mumbo-jumbo though.
You're extrapolating a scientific phenomenon to ... somewhere else.
Quantum mechanics should not inform how you interpret the world at a spiritual level.
That's some Deepak Chopra nonsense.

And in watching the research on quantum physics, I get the feeling we shape our reality with our expectations. Some people choose religion as this expression. I can respect that as long as someone's belief doesn't demand denial of what is objective in front of their faces. And some people interpret data & information in a non-spiritual way. I can respect that too unless it leads one to close the possibility that there are forces and intelligence at play that we can't comprehend currently. That's not what science demands.
Quantum superposition allows for so many possibilities. I think closing off any of them, science or spiritual is a mistake.
I'd like to see scientific advancement with everyone being open minded about the possibilities in front of them, be it God or Gas.
