It is but not in the way you are trying to transfer it. For physics (and the physical sciences) it works great. To transfer it to more abstract concepts like "what someone knows" will not work.
You cannot define what a human knows using mathematics so arguing that you can use it to determine what God knows is silly.
You could in theory use physics, chemistry, biology, etc. to study the human brain to track what someone knows using more and more complex math but you would not be defining what the person knows as a mathematical set.

I don't know if that's accurate. There are plenty of things which math declares undecidable or incomputable. That said, I see no reason that we can't use math to analyze certain aspects of God, or at least gain insight. We can still use math to learn some things about undecidable or incomputable concepts even when we cannot obtain a complete answer.
