God of the Gap argument, Writing in centuries past, many scientists felt compelled to wax poetic about cosmic mysteries and Gods handiwork. Perhaps one should not be surprised at this: most scientists back then, as well as many scientists today, identify themselves as spiritually devout. But a careful reading of older texts, particularly those concerned with the universe itself, shows that the authors invoke divinity only when they reach the boundaries of their understanding. They appeal to a higher power only when staring into the ocean of their own ignorance. They call on God only from the lonely and precarious edge of incomprehension. Where they feel certain about their explanations, however, God gets hardly a mention. c.c Ken Faris Tahir Rawther Jejaka Ohsem Shakir Zainuddin Fuad Rahmat Hakim Hood haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/read/2005/11/01/the-perimeter-of-ignorance
