Hindu Perspective: Counter to God of Gaps Theory

You haven't countered anything, what you've presented is literally just the god of the gaps fallacy: "science can't explain everything, and my god exists in the gaps that science can't explain." It's the most textbook example of the thing you're claiming to counter, and you're gonna sit here and act like you've presented something new and cogent?

Quote: If we believe that the universe is infinite we would also believe that knowledge about the universe is infinite. If knowledge is infinite then the questions one asks about the universe is therefore also infinite. 

Where on earth did you get the idea that the universe is infinite? It has, insofar as we're talking about our current expansionary universe, a defined beginning at the big bang, and as far as I know, also spacial boundaries too. At the very least you'd have to follow the science and acknowledge that we don't currently know whether the universe is finite or not.

It's always interesting, when theists pop up here and begin their arguments based on premises that they don't bother to establish a consensus on, nor even justify; the more a theistic argument relies upon taking certain premises as read, unquestioningly, without even establishing that we will first, the more the eventual conclusion relies on desperate twisting rather than anything agreeable.
