And what is your definition of a truthful religion? If you say "Islam" I shall tear that argument apartThe phrase has got nothing to do with the truthful religion.

perhaps.The phrase has got nothing to do with the truthful religion.

perhaps.
But it is truth in and of itself.
if you say so.Fallible humans are not capable of attaining 'Truth' in and of itself.
if you say so.
which has nothing to do with my use of the word in the post you start this tangent on....No, by the evidence. Far too many claim to know the 'Truth' making diverse conflicting claims as to what 'Truth' claims are. Thank goodness science does not make any 'Truth' claims.
I notice that several have already mentioned this, but god of the gaps is a description of a view that some believers hold about the unexplained and not a name for God.One of the names of God is the God of gaps. Therefore, having eliminated the main gaps (for example, describing the Big Bang completely), the Scientists falsify Theology and All Religions. But this means that (according to the Popper Falsifiability Criterion) Theology and Religion is Science.
What are your thoughts?
Is Science the project to discredit Religion?
exchemist: ""God of the Gaps" was a phrase invented by Prof. Charles Coulson, whose lectures on maths for chemists I attended in my first year at university. As well as Prof of Theoretical Chemistry, he was also a Methodist lay preacher and author."
Such a shame. The gap has been filled in and now scientists have spent the last 75 years trying to get people to understand the filling.If asked how can bees fly when their wing surface is not large enough to provide adequate lift you answer "GodDidIt" you just created a God of The Gaps.
Most people who claim "GodDidIt" use that answer instead of "I Do No Know".Such a shame. The gap has been filled in and now scientists have spent the last 75 years trying to get people to understand the filling.
When it comes to religion, there is so much I do not know, it leaves open a myriad of approaches to gain understanding. Religious people that claim to know, and absolutely, scare me.Most people who claim "GodDidIt" use that answer instead of "I Do No Know".
I notice there are loads of theists who are scared to death to answer "I Do Not Know" when asked about religion or God or spirituality.
I have no idea why that is.
Just something I have observed.
While I am alive, I will continue to remain ignorant and seeking enlightenment. I can share personal opinions and relate experiences, but I cannot objectively relate those experiences in a way that you would agree that they are as I perceive them. I must recognize the possibility that what I perceive as a spiritual experience might have another explanation and I am taking my explanation on some faith.Most people who claim "GodDidIt" use that answer instead of "I Do No Know".

Perhaps you are thinking about subjective religious beliefs, but I am not. Even if I were law can also have subjective beliefs. Things that are merely opinions are not falsifiable. If you believe that schools should have a 8" no touching rule, but someone else believes they should have a 7" no touching rule then there is a difference of opinion of 1". If two physicians have two exclusive opinions on the same patient, both diagnoses cannot be followed; and whatever happens to the patient it is not certain which opinion is best. Similarly a person cannot know with confidence about many religious opinions and can only practice on thing or another.Disagree. Religion is a little too subjective to be compared to Law and medicine.
Is it better: "I do not know how God has did it."?Most people who claim "GodDidIt" use that answer instead of "I Do No Know".

No, its just the everyday supporters of modern cosmology who take it as the whole truth and nothing but the truth when some one opposites the ideas.Thank goodness science does not make any 'Truth' claims.

Since it is merely a long winded "GodDidIt", no.Is it better: "I do not know how God has did it."?

Non the less most debaters acts with simple emotional reactions if their "standing truth" i.e. the standing theories are questioned.The everyday layman armchair scientist don't count for much or anything of substance.
Actually no, this is not true of any ot the sciences, including the sciences of cosmology where there is a healthy progressive develop of knowledge with healthy disagreement, and the acknowledgement that there are many things that we do not know.
Nothing in science is the whole truth.
