the god of the gaps
Atheists will sometimes dismiss any reference to the wondrous unexplainable quality of existence as being an appeal to the God of the gaps.
They suggest that believers in God who cite wondrousness as evidence of God are simply citing something that has not yet been explained.
The atheists argue that as their version of science explains more of these miraculous qualities in scientific terms, there will be fewer and fewer gaps for God.
I would caution atheists that it is possible to sneer at anything including a miracle.
Sneering is a very poor analytic.
I would note that atheistic notions masquerading as science have in fact filled very few if any gaps, if we choose to refer to something wondrous as a gap.
I would also note that atheistic versions of science where they have explained something have explained far less than their atheistic advocates pretend to have explained.
There is a wondrousnesss underlying every physical property that we observe in our experience of existence, including the concept of the physical and the concept of existence and the concept of observation.
We still don't know what electricity is or why the electrons obey the laws we have contrived as metaphors to describe their apparent behaviour.
We still don't know what light is.
We still don't know what an atom is. Nels Bohr who modelled the atom is reported to have responded to a person praising him for modelling the atom: "The atom is other than we can imagine."
We still don't know what time is or if it exists as a medium.
We still don't know what a cell is.
We still don't know what life is. All our attempted definitions of life break down when it comes to the requirement of precision.
We still don't know what consciousness is even as we think we are conscious of it.
I would suggest that we still can't define with meaningful precision what a point in space is. (That is to say, for example, that even as we now postulate by observation that the universe began at a single point, in spite of Einstein's early insistence that the universe was eternally existing, a single point, where all the measurements and metrics zoom towards infinity, a point in which all reality as we now experience it is contained, we still can't stipulate exactly what such a single point is or was, although we can hunbly admit as Einstein hismelf did, that Einstein was completely wrong in jerrymandering his equations to fit his earlier postulation of a brute fact steady states universe that always existed while the gulpens of atheistic pseudo science applauded him before and after his candid admission and told him what a great fellow he was or is.)
We don't know what infinity is.
According to the mathematician David Berlinski we still can't define what a species is.
The two fundamental physical theories of the universe, Quantum and Relativity, contradict each other absolutely. One of them is false. Both may be. There is no unified fields theory. As things stand, we are left with no proven physical explanation of the universe.
Here is the news.
Every aspect of existence is imbued with wondrousness at every level.
From the atom to consciousness there are no gaps.
Only miracles.
Atheists might consider now admitting it.
God is.
