I think what your professor was trying to was, he did not understand quantum mechanics, and from his replys I would suspect it is due to his inability to reconcile that and god (or gods construction)

we are only just beginning to see what is available, let alone “understand it”, some of the things we are looking at (or trying to) do not even have names yet

This inability to explain anomalies at “really large” or “really small” scales is due to our inability to see the patterns they are describing, and part of that is due to our stand point, and that directly relates to our (non) relationship with “insert your name for creator and/or maintainer here”

what we do know about quantum mechanics is that there are “strange things happening” that are related to “strange influences”. What I can tell you is that once there is a beginning of a perceived understanding of what it is that maintains these “strange things” and “strange influences”, then the true “inability” to understand the universe will become apparent, in the same way as the law of gravity pertains to our judicial system
