Why God Of The Gaps Is A Bad Objection – Ep.340 – Scientism & Secularism – Methodological Naturalism, Theistic Evolution, & Intelligent Design – Part 2

Why God Of The Gaps Is A Bad Objection

While finishing our discussion on why methodological naturalism should be rejected, we deal with another bad objection to Christians having a place in the science world. The charge of believing in a “God of the gaps” is levied at Christians to scoff at their history in science. We take a look at it and offer up “nuh huh” and “you do it too”!
