God of the gaps... maybe?

[Angrboda]

While we may, or a deist might, argue about the specificness of the concept of god, there are some general outlines of it which entail some hefty ontological commitments. The supposition that an immensely powerful, conscious being exists is not a trifle. It's a holdover from more specific inceptions, and it seems just as hard to justify as the more specific variants. I don't really see it as more defensible. As Min once said, a deist is simply an atheist who is afraid to let go with both hands. However, what they're still holding onto is too substantial to ignore.
