No God of the gaps here.
This assumes, incorrectly, that there is a finite supply of possible explanations one can come up with to describe any kind of phenomena, when in reality, anyone can simply make up a completely new one out of thin air. One can, in fact, simply make up a new god and apply to it attributes that better correspond with the real world, and you automatically have a better "god" hypothesis than yours.
Your god hypothesis is in no way strengthened by the failure of any competing hypothesis because yours lacks any actual explanatory power and cannot itself be explained. The failure of every existing competing hypothesis would still mean that yours is just one worthless non-answer in an ocean of them.
All you are doing is attempting to work the GOTG backwards by postulating a gap that science can't fill, anyway.
