[QUOTE="AnEmpiricalAgnostic, post: 16212738, member: 112284"] [i][color=black][font=Verdana]I have given your OP much consideration and have come to the conclusion, imho, that there is a minor flaw in your reasoning. I see Ed touched on this, but I wanted to put it into my own words. I was thinking about why it is that the same line of reasoning has let us each to such different paths (theistically speaking). I think the fundamental flaw is that you are singling out science. Once science is not the focus of the gap then you will realize that we are still dealing with a gap albeit a regular old gap of knowledge. Imho, man has been to quick to fill these gaps with god.
