You seem to want a scientific religion to satisfy your religion hole. All religious ideas to me are anything but scientific in nature. I've just come back from watching the film "Lucy". It reminded me of a Kubrick epic. Exploring the idea of untapped human potential. Ultimate potential is apparently a timeless and omnipotent state. Who knew. People have drawn the same conclusion to the problem for thousands of years. Science hasn't trumped that. Science just give us a different language to express it. The expression didn't get better, just updated.
If you revised your statement to say that gaps in knowledge don't equal God, I'd completely agree with you. To say that you include me and everyone who believe as I do in your generalisation that I/ we believe in something in the realms of the scientific method when we describe God, then I'd say that you're well off the mark.
You do not have a "belief system". You have a personal bias to a god with absolutely NO evidence of this claimed god.
If your holy book matched science you'd be able to use it to confirm all the fantastic claims in that book and even the concept of the god itself. You are fine with science up and util it conflicts with what you want to be true.
That book magically pops adult men out of dirt, magically pops adult women of a man's ribs. It treats the sun and moon as separate sources of light. It has stories about talking snakes and talking bushes and unicorns. The bible has more in common with Hobbits, Harry Potter and Dungeons and Dragons, than it does with science.
Don't sit there and say you accept science. You don't accept all of it. You stop when it challenges your god claim. There is no "Thor theory" of lightening in science either.
