But the strongest evidence comes from DNA anyway!
"Oh look, we've found a gap because science isn't perfect, let's stick God's nonexistent butt in there."
Sorry, the gaps have gotten wider and wider over the past 50 years or so. Since we looked back to the beginning of the universe and looked into the cell.
The current evidence shows that these "gaps" are defects in naturalistic theories. However, that is not the important point. Design is inferred by examining the subject and is not simply an appeal based on ignorance.
There are no actual gaps, so I am not sure how you are measuring the size of these gaps. As we learn more about the universe, the origins of life, and the evolution of life, it leads to new lines of inquiry, that is how we learn. Your approach is if you don't know something, just plug god in and your done, if we had followed this approach we would still be living in caves.
