Hindu Perspective: Counter to God of Gaps Theory

[Esquilax]

Interesting way to look at it but I would have to politely disagree with how you approached it. God of Gaps for me says that theists are putting God in a gap that has not been filled by science, which eventually will be filled by science, and therefore there will be a point according to the God of Gaps theory where scientists will explain everything and there is no where to put God. 

Nope. It's just used to describe any scenario where a gap in knowledge is presumed to be filled with god. The original coiners of the term did realize that this meant that god would be constantly retreating as science expanded, but they were theologians attempting to get people to stop filling ignorance with god. In practical terms, "science hasn't answered this," and "science can't answer this," are not terribly different, for the purposes of the argument: the exact same objections to the former can be leveled at the latter.

My thesis is only to prove that the God of Gaps theory is false based on an assumption that knowledge is infinite, and if we assume God to be infinite as well, that "gap' will will never be filled. That's one point. 

Even presuming knowledge to be infinite, you would still need to demonstrate that a segment of that knowledge contains the god you're talking about. You can't just point to things we don't know, even if that turns out to be an infinite expanse, assert that your god is in there, and expect that to be a rational reason to believe.

Besides, you can fill an infinite gap in knowledge, if you have infinite time in which to do it and a constant rate of expansion for scientific knowledge.

The second point: It goes with a story about how God appeared on Earth, and told the people here I am, please believe in me, follow the teaching of Love and you will start to perceive reality in a different way. The people did not believe him no matter what he did, exactly because of this notion of knowledge is infinite. No matter what God shows as proof in the material world, we will never believe because as knowledge is infinite our questions are also infinite, and we will always ask a question which has the potential of disproving God.

I'll believe the moment there's positive evidence, rather than a lack of evidence contorted into a god shape.

** Thanks for the point about how we don't know if the universe is infinite. I am not a scientist and I don't infact know. I am making a certain assumption that the universe is infinite. Only to make the point that knowledge is infinite and we has humans will never stop asking the question Why. If you believe that we has humans will one day stop asking the question why, or we will have answered all the questions that exist, then by all means disagree with the statements i am making.

It doesn't matter in the least whether we'll have the answers to all the questions in the universe or not. The time to believe in a god is when that specific question has been answered, rather than the point where we recognize we may never have all the answers. You don't need to know everything, to believe in some things.
