(December 30, 2012 at 8:18 pm)Mark 13:13 Wrote: Ps the god of the gaps is not what Theists believe in; its an attempt by science to give the impression that if they keep exploring the gaps they can squeeze God out of existence; which makes no sense if God does exist and exists outside of the scope of human observation and only reveals what God chooses to reveal. I understand that this will get the usual flurry of well meaning confetti by some in this forum but I just wanted it to be clear this god of the gaps is not what we Monotheists believe in.
Close. "God of the gaps" is kinda a short hand way to describe a common argument method used by theists. They say "We don't understand _______, therefore God did it." It's highly flawed on many levels; Neil Degrasse Tyson specifically said that if you believe in that, you're useless in a lab, and he explains the God of the gaps fairly well here.
