(Wikipedia 2016).
Theorem: it is wiser to let the God in the ship's hold gap, until the secular science will find the secular stop-gap. Proof: "it is just obvious." More is here:
But while the "white spot" or the “gap” (the gap in the secular view of the world) is not closed by the secular science, let the gap be closed by the True God Himself. If is needed, the God will make the additional room for the secular science. But why to tear the God from all the white spots? Otherwise our society (like a ship) will sink in the "sin-deeds-sea" due to huge ugly holes in the knowledge!
Why does the gap have to be filled? To call it ugly is to call space ugly. They are both infinite. Just like there will always be empty space, no matter how much scientists learn there will always be things we don’t know.
So you propose that we use a god who doesn’t exist to fill a gap that can’t be filled. Makes sense.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
