'''Evolution of the gaps''' are dogmatic inferences to adaptive [[Logic of possibility|just-so stories]], stated with absolute conviction and marked with an extensive usage of [[buzzword]] 'evolution' serving as camouflage for complete lack of any [[explanation in science|scientific explanation]] or [[scientific observation|observational]] [[scientific evidence|evidence]] for postulated unkown alien phenomena. For example, [[Stephen Jay Gould]] admitted his own functionalist biases as he was once criticized by [[Francis Crick]] for hastily attributing a certain phenomenon to evolution, expressed in form of an adaptive story invented with alacrity and agility, even prior to finding out the real mechanism behind it.<ref>{{cite book

|quote=I well remember something that [[Francis Crick]] said to me many years ago, when my own functionalist biases were strong. He remarked, in response to an adaptive story I had invented with alacrity and agility to explain the meaning of repetitive DNA: ‘''Why do you evolutionists always try to identify the value of something '''before you know how it is made'''''?’
