God of the Gaps (well then, how did...")

God of the gaps​

​

(or a divine fallacy) is logical fallacy that occurs when Goddidit (or a variant) is invoked to explain some natural phenomena that science cannot (at the time of the argument). This concept is similar to what systems theorists refer to as an "explanatory principle." "God of the gaps" is a bad argument not only on logical grounds, but on empirical grounds: there is a long history of "gaps" being filled and the gap for God thus getting smaller and smaller, suggesting "we don't know Yet" as an alternative that works Better in practice; naturalistic explanations for still-mysterious phenomena are always possible, especially in the future where more information may be uncovered.[1]​

​

The God of the Gaps is a didit Fallacy and an ad hoc Fallacy, as well as an Argument from Incredulity or an Argument from Ignorance, and is thus an informal fallacy...​

2. Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of...pe_of_argument

The term God-of-the-gaps fallacy can refer to a position that assumes an act of God as the explanation for an unknown phenomenon, which is a variant of an argument from ignorance fallacy.[13][14] Such an argument is sometimes reduced to the following form:​

​

*There is a gap in understanding of some aspect of the natural world.​

*Therefore the cause must be supernatural.​

​

One example of such an argument, which uses God as an explanation of one of the current gaps in biological science, is as follows: "Because current science can't figure out exactly how life started, it must be God who caused life to start." Critics of intelligent design creationism, for example, have accused proponents of using this basic type of argument.[15]​

​

God-of-the-gaps arguments have been Discouraged by some theologians who assert that such arguments tend to relegate God to the Leftovers of science: as scientific knowledge Increases, the dominion of God Decreases...[4][5][16][17]​

There is NO proof, or even evidence for god/s, just fallacious god-of-the-gaps inferences.

Roman Catholic Version
Genesis Chapter 1:1-10

1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.
2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.
3 God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
4 God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.
5 God called light 'day', and darkness he called 'night'. Evening came and morning came: the first day.
6 God said, 'Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.' And so it was.
7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.
8 God called the vault 'heaven'. Evening came and morning came: the second day.
9 God said, 'Let the waters under heaven come together into a single mass, and let dry land appear.' And so it was.
10 God called the dry land 'earth' and the mass of waters 'seas', and God saw that it was good.

You already Lost/did NOT answer my counter to YOUR premise/assertion.

I Challenged YOUR GOOFY Assertion first.
You Could NOT answer so you DISHONESTLY tried the 'burden shift

Why is abiogenesis "Manifestly impossible"?​

LOL.​

Is it less possible that a 'god' sprung into existence from nothing?​

Only YOUR personal Magic makes sense?​

So THRICE now you've tried to turn the tables on Your illogic/shift the burden. YOUR BURDEN for YOUR POSITIVE ASSERTION.​

It's still on you Reverend anti-Atheist-Clown.​

YOU had NO answer to YOUR POSITIVE ASSERTION.​

All that laughable Bury-em-with-Bullshit trash you write and you cannot back your assertion. ​

Of course it is true. It is a foregone conclusion. Once there was no life, then there was life. Abiogenesis is what connects these two states.

Of course it is true. It is a foregone conclusion. Once there was no life, then there was life. Abiogenesis is what connects these two states.

You are making a false premise, false conclusion error.

It isn't true because God said he made life on Earth per Genesis. No where else. An that's what we find.

[Ringtone]

The same anti-science which permeates Darwinism has been extended by godless Leftists (but I repeat myself).

When Leftists need it, Darwinism is very fast. When they don't, Darwinism is very, very slow or non-existent.

"Global warming" has been contradicted so many times that they had to change their moniker to "climate change". That covers everything, cold, hot, hurricanes, tornadoes, and probably acne. When "global warming" is contradicted by observation and experiment, Leftists swear you "don't understand it," in much the same way they make claims of your intellectual inferiority regarding Darwinism. Bear in mind these are the same Leftists who don't know which bathroom to use, male or female. These are the same Leftists who go giddy over socialism, which murdered and starved 100,000,000 innocent humans and still counting. These are the same Leftists who promote and champion the butchery of innocent unborn babies worldwide, 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 PER YEAR! (www.worldometers.info)

How do they justify their butchery and insanity in their own minds? The same way the Waffen SS Nazis did. They're superior to you in every way. Pride is evil and it is the original sin. It's not about me. My intelligence is immaterial. I'm not bragging about my intelligence. It is the Leftists, like the Waffen SS, who do so, constantly.

WTF

Deluded Gibberish!

Actually, you have, just not in the sense that you mean.
It is manifest from the Ramifications of the Imperatives of logic, mathematics, ontology and cosmological physics that the Universe (or physical world) began to exist in the finite past. The only rational explanation for its existence per the principles of eternalism and sufficient causation is God. Though it's not the most important miracle relative to man's redemption, the existence of the Universe itself is the greatest miracle, i.e., the greatest display of God's existence.

Scientists didn't steal anything. They followed the evidence, then the religious nutters fraudulently retrofit their iron aged fairy tales to scientific knowledge. Same thing, every time.

Yeah. They followed the evidence right to the opening lines of Genesis in the Bible.

No, that's stupid. Else you biblical "scholars" would have saved them the trouble. No, you guys just like to retrofit hard earned knowledge to your fairy tales, but everyone else sees how fraudulent that is.

Perhaps the scientists should have stayed with the steady state theory instead. The Book Of Genesis has been there for all to see for countless centuries so it would appear that the hard earned knowledge you're talking about isn't so hard earned on the scientists part.

This is probably THEE #1 rationale for those arguing for a god on msg boards.
"Well then, did all this stuff just appear?".. "how did ___ if not god?"
And we can see several Fallacious OPs currently employing this boner.

If we can't explain it/explain it Yet, it must be 'god.'
The same Bogus/Failed 'logic' used for creating Fire, Lightning, Sun, Fertility, and Ten thousand other 'gods.'

1. God of the gaps - RationalWiki

God of the gaps​

​

(or a divine fallacy) is logical fallacy that occurs when Goddidit (or a variant) is invoked to explain some natural phenomena that science cannot (at the time of the argument). This concept is similar to what systems theorists refer to as an "explanatory principle." "God of the gaps" is a bad argument not only on logical grounds, but on empirical grounds: there is a long history of "gaps" being filled and the gap for God thus getting smaller and smaller, suggesting "we don't know Yet" as an alternative that works Better in practice; naturalistic explanations for still-mysterious phenomena are always possible, especially in the future where more information may be uncovered.[1]​

​

The God of the Gaps is a didit Fallacy and an ad hoc Fallacy, as well as an Argument from Incredulity or an Argument from Ignorance, and is thus an informal fallacy...​

2. Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of...pe_of_argument

The term God-of-the-gaps fallacy can refer to a position that assumes an act of God as the explanation for an unknown phenomenon, which is a variant of an argument from ignorance fallacy.[13][14] Such an argument is sometimes reduced to the following form:​

​

*There is a gap in understanding of some aspect of the natural world.​

*Therefore the cause must be supernatural.​

​

One example of such an argument, which uses God as an explanation of one of the current gaps in biological science, is as follows: "Because current science can't figure out exactly how life started, it must be God who caused life to start." Critics of intelligent design creationism, for example, have accused proponents of using this basic type of argument.[15]​

​

God-of-the-gaps arguments have been Discouraged by some theologians who assert that such arguments tend to relegate God to the Leftovers of science: as scientific knowledge Increases, the dominion of God Decreases...[4][5][16][17]​

There is NO proof, or even evidence for god/s, just fallacious god-of-the-gaps inferences.

God exists. His existence is incontrovertible and inevitable.

You mean, unfalsifiable. Which is how we know it is utter nonsense.

Is that why scientists had to steal the creation story?

Roman Catholic Version
Genesis Chapter 1:1-10

1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.
2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.
3 God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
4 God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.
5 God called light 'day', and darkness he called 'night'. Evening came and morning came: the first day.
6 God said, 'Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.' And so it was.
7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.
8 God called the vault 'heaven'. Evening came and morning came: the second day.
9 God said, 'Let the waters under heaven come together into a single mass, and let dry land appear.' And so it was.
10 God called the dry land 'earth' and the mass of waters 'seas', and God saw that it was good.

I'm not the one descending into name calling to protect my argument.

Obviously you're now attempting to deflect like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Maybe the scientists could come up with the stolen cookie theory of universal beginning next.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead has been around longer...er so it must be truerer...er than the Bible.

Really??? Is this where we're going now?

How long do you think the Book Of Genesis had been around prior to being incorporated into the Bible from the Jewish people?

Do you know?
