→Unreasonable atheists and the God of the gaps argument
"God of the gaps" is a term used by atheists and scientists to disparage the belief that science cannot explain everything. [[Atheism|Atheists]] argue that saying "God did it" as a response to every mystery is an ineffective argument. It should be noted that [[Gödel's incompleteness theorems]] has effectively established that science really can't explain everything; therefore, accusing believers of having a God of gaps is not in accordance with scientific principle.
