How did life get a foothold on Earth four billion years ago? God did it.
How did the universe begin? God did it.
Why are there millions of species on this planet? God did it.
All 3 of these hiding places for the god of the gaps have been explained by science. There will forever be research opportunities in every branch of science but we know god didn't do anything therefore the god thing is not real.
Why are religious fucktards unable to understand? Mostly it's an extreme stupidity problem. Also these morons for Jeebus and Allah are cowards. They can't exist without their childish and totally impossible magical 2nd life in a magical paradise for dead idiots. Dead human apes don't go anywhere because they're fucking dead.
Rational Wiki - God of the gaps
"If a philosopher or social scientist were to try to encapsulate a single principle that yoked together the intellectual process of civilization, it would be a gradual dismantling of presumptions of magic. Brick by brick, century by century, with occasional burps and hiccups, the wall of superstition has been coming down. Science and medicine and political philosophy have been on a relentless march in one direction only — sometimes slow, sometimes at a gallop, but never reversing course. Never has an empirical scientific discovery been deemed wrong and replaced by a more convincing mystical explanation. ('Holy cow, Dr. Pasteur! I've examined the pancreas of a diabetic dog, and darned if it's NOT an insulin deficiency, but a little evil goblin dwelling inside. And he seems really pissed!') Some magical presumptions have stubbornly persisted way longer than others, but have eventually, inexorably fallen to logic, reason and enlightenment, such as the assumption of the divine right of kings and the entitlement of aristocracy. That one took five millennia, but fall it did."
