The more science expands, the fewer gaps there are for god to fill. The moment we say "Well, hell if I know how that happened, so, therefore, Goddiddit," we stunt our growth and learning. A god of the gaps is a philosophy of ignorance, and men of learning find no solace in this way of thinking. To invoke intelligent design, to label something as miraculous, or to say that there's some invisible force listening to your every wish -- this is doing a disservice to yourself and to others.
Seek after truth, but know that you will not find any hidden in superstitions.
