I'm saying that there is no "Uhh, what goes here?". I'm saying that unequivocally, what science points to is not a gap in our knowledge with God as a placeholder, but it points to God directly. Btw, god of gaps is thrown around by atheists as if it was their own invention, it is actually derived from theists, did you know that?

1) You can go ahead and make that claim when our scientific knowledge about the universe is complete (or enough to support your claim with solid evidence)
2) The unknown portion is (A.K.A THE GAP): We don't know an exact cause of the universe, we don't have an explanation or reason for the universe. And you fill in that unknown portion (the cause of the universe) with god, without any evidence.
Accept that there is a gap before you continue. The gap doesn't dissapear because you say it isn't there.
I honestly don't care who invented god of the gaps, I don't see why it matters who invented it. And maybe atheists are throwing it around because you keep filling gaps with god.
But yet again at the end of the day it doesn't matter what I said because you only have arguments and no evidence. Come back when you form a hypothesis based on your arguments, make experiments, test your hypothesis and come back with a scientific conclusion/with evidence.
If you do, I hope your evidence points towards
