There are many gaps in human knowledge but those gaps are too small to hide a god of the gaps. The basic stuff has been figured out. The magic god fairy has run out of hiding places. The god fantasy is good for absolutely nothing but getting in the way.
These two quotes from scientists are what Christians and other theist morons need to understand:
If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator.
-- Jerry Coyne, University of Chicago biologist and author of Why Evolution is True
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
-- Charles Darwin, the father of modern biology and the man who killed god
This blog has 35 posts of my favorite quotes at My favorite quotes.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
