That’s precisely what modern science does - it points out, to anyone who is intellectually prepared to accept it, that your God is a God of the gaps. This particular fallacy is special case of the argument from ignorance. Since you’re not able to grasp a mundane explanation for a natural phenomenon, you simply ‘goddidit’ and go your merry way. Alternately, you do the same thing when you pounce on something that science has not yet explained.
1000 years ago, it was widely considered that God was the explanation for everything, from the opening of a morning glory to a meteor strike. As science uncovers more and more about how the world wags and what wags it, there is less and less for God to do. You’re desperately clinging to a smaller and smaller God.

But, even 1000 years ago there were unbelievers proving that a lack of belief is not reliant upon evolution/modern science as @Klorophyll would have us believe.
