I Used to Have "SCIENCE-OF-THE GAPS" Faith
Not Anymore

God of the Gaps
Many people paint this war-mongering picture of reality …
Science and Religion are two mighty nations at war. The inhabitants of Science are smart and forward thinking; those of Religion, dumb and backwards thinking.
Science is steadily advancing on and winning over the territory of Religion. One day Science will completely vanquish Religion. In the meantime, the only defensive weapon left to the cowering, superstitious inhabitants of Religion is called God of the Gaps.
God of the Gaps invokes God to explain whatever Science can’t explain. “There are many things we don’t understand, therefore God exists."
When I was a boy I bought into this picture because science was my god. I genuinely believed that given enough time science, like a modern-day Oracle of Delphi, would answer all my questions.
That was saying a lot because I was (and still am) a very curious person. My middle-school math teacher nicknamed me “Michael Jillion” because I constantly interrupted him with my jillion questions.
Science of the Gaps
I now know better. I now realize science can never answer all my questions about the universe and our place in it. Here are just a few of the reasons why:
Science uses words in its theories without any real understanding of their meaning. In truth, for example, we have no idea what space, time, matter, and energy really are or where they all came from.
Only 5% of the so-called observable universe is actually visible to us. A whopping 95% is invisible and, therefore, inscrutable to us. It’s made of Dark Energy and Dark Matter, which are complete mysteries to us.
Beyond the observable universe - beyond the Cosmic Horizon - is a cosmos that’s 100% invisible to us. Its stars are so far away and moving away from us so fast, their light can never reach us.
Logic is incapable of deciding the veracity of most truths (Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem: “truth is far bigger than proof”).
There’s a hard and fast limit to the level of detail we can discern and, therefore understand, about the basic fabric of our universe (Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principles).
Most essential aspects of our lives cannot be weighed, measured, or studied in a test tube.
Further to that last point:
Science can measure the hormones associated with love, but cannot explain love itself.
Science can measure biochemical changes during grief, but cannot comprehend the full meaning of grief itself.
Science can analyze the physical properties of music, but cannot quantify its beauty.
Science can measure electrical activity in the brain, but cannot explain the mystery of human consciousness.
