This is a very weak argument against very weak theism. A god of the gaps simply isn't a viable god and can be easily dismissed. The real problem, if you want to try and address it, is that god cannot be disproven ... which is frustrating for the atheist who wants to dismiss it. In a way, that's the perfection of the consideration. If god is dismissible then it isn't god. Catch 22.
The reason this doesn't then invalidate god/s is the proceeding purpose that is realised. The whole strength of the believers faith is deep rooted in the perfection of the deities mystery.
