What I wrote about the magic god fairy of the gaps.

"Why is it wrong to critically examine the evidence for God's existence? If you take religion seriously, isn't that what we should be doing? Part of critical examination is questioning..."

I agree with what you wrote but the god-soaked have already figured it out. Their childish idea goes like this: "There are gaps in our knowledge of the universe, therefore the magic god fairy of the gaps did it."

"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

"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
