That would be a more semantically slick way of substituting a specific God for a generic God-of-the-gaps, but it's still a get out of jail free card: the theist gets to dump ALL of their dogma, all of their believed qualities of their particular deity, the tenants of the religion, hey, *poof* it's now assumed Jesus was in fact their Deity/his son, and now the bible is definitely true.
It never stops at "I dunno :. God," there's the inevitable scuffling sound of the theist sneaking their God and all his paraphernalia in through the back door.
If they're Catholic, suddenly we assume Demonic Possession, miracles and saints. They take a little more time to round up and sneak through the back door, but they "don't need" any additional justification to get to them.
