Finally, if one considers religion as a way to fill the gaps in knowledge and science, you would think that these gaps would slowly decrease as we discovered more things...!!
OK you've hit on the main problem of the God of the Gaps, theory: that the more we know, the less need we have of God as an explanation. As the scientific gaps get smaller, so does God.

If you're Humber & insistant on believing in a large God, there is only one choice... deny science & make the gaps larger!! But even that makes for a small God: why would God make a universe-creation incapable of functioning on its own? Picture a carpenter making a table with 3 legs and the carpenter supporting the 4th side -- not such a bright carpenter. We have good reason to believe the universe does not work this way. We have good reason to believe that the unexplainable will in time be explained & often explained very elegantly, as the universe tends to work in a beautiful harmonious, tho not always obvious, way.

Humber tries to prove there is a creator by presenting a false depiction of an imperfect creation!!
