God has been hypothesized as the filler of gaps when we are not certain about an issue. One hypothesis states that it is probable given observations, and one hypothesis states that god exists based on nothing more than our current knowledge does not have a natural explanation for a phenomenon. See the difference now?

You know well that My GOD is not the god of the gaps so lets not go there. But until life is found you are only talking numbers. As until it is found there can be no certainty. So I stand by what I said earlier.

There is no such thing as certainty in science.
