  1. "pls evidence w/o god of gaps, theists!!"
  2.  
  3. the god of the gaps fallacy essentially goes:
  4.  
  5. process A cannot be due to cause X.
  6. therefore, process A is due to cause Y.
  7.  
  8. for example: life cannot be due to natural processes, therefore life is due to God
  9.  
  10. however, in this instance: "process A" is belief in God, and "cause X" is rational means.
  11. they deny that process A, belief in God, can be due to rational means. therefore, they insist process A, belief in God, is due to fallacious thought (i.e. god of the gaps fallacy)
  12. really, the accusation that something is fallacious — to divert from rational discourse and academic rigor — this is the 'fallacy' fallacy...
