Theology is not philosophy.  You may have been misled by the fact that many theologians use philosophical arguments (typically, malformed ones) for various purposes.  However, some theologians use tales of quantum mechanics for various purposes, too (and that are likewise typically malformed), and that does not make theology a science either.
