There is no God.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I'll grant you that it is a negative kind of support, since there isn't exactly evidence that God is a myth, but since there isn't any evidence whatsoever to demonstrate that God is anything other than a myth, this is good enough to go on with.

Castigation accepted.

Scientifically there's nothing to say at all about God. Although pickups focus on the gaps in knowledge as evidence of an ever shrinking God is his own misconception which leads to his claim. If bad information was the stuff of science then I'd honour him with some credulity.

Actually, the 'God of the gaps' is a fairly well known line of reasoning.

There was a time in human history when it was believed that nothing (literally) happened without the direct intervention of God. For instance, a flower simply couldn't bloom unless God said, 'Flower, open thou.' Given what we know of plant biology, God becomes irrelevant to the opening of a flower - God may direct a flower to bloom, but God isn't needed for the phenomenon to occur. This applies more and more as we learn more and more about the world around us. There simply isn't very much left for God to do.

And a God with nothing to do looks suspiciously like a God that isn't there at all.
