Assuming there is a quantum mechanical wave function for everything and anything, what would it look like for the probability of "physical" religious claims actually being true?

P.S. I am NOT religious, nor trying to be disrespectful of anyone's faith. And yes, I understand religious beliefs are matters of Faith and NOT Science. The question is NOT about the validity of Faith, but whether or not a wave function for a “physical” religious claim (e.g. that the Earth is only 5000 years old, etc.) CAN BE elaborated, and if so, has anyone actually attempted it? Would appreciate specific references. Thank You.

We know that our star (Sol) will expand and contract into a white dwarf and slowly burn out what will be left once the star is completely burned out and cold? Does the mass of the star change the final result? I'm not asking about black holes but anything upto but not including black holes.

Why do scientists say its impossible for anything to move faster than the speed of light. Just because we havent witnessed it doesnt mean it doesnt exist, right?

Ever tried imaging what is beyond beyond and beyond that? Makes me get the chills. It's kind of like trying to thread a needle and you just can't get it through that tiny hole.

Another odd end of the world question. If some poor scientist happens to let some strange matter loose on our unsuspecting universe, how long do you think it would take to (whaddaya call it? devour? engulf? transform?) everything on earth into strange matter? Would it spread outward into the universe? Would this be the end of everything?
