This has been made clear in this topic from the beginning, which is why this thread has been ~68 pages of "god of the gaps." To deny that he's using that argument while repeatedly demanding an explanation for the origins of the universe is dishonest, but also very telling. If god was so evident, why are theists always trying to pull him out of the ever-shrinking gaps in human knowledge? Why do some of them (as evident throughout this topic) simply give up even trying and just repeat rote claims as if they were a talisman?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
