A Designer Isn’t a ‘God of the Gaps’ (Podcast)
Creationists are often accused of arguing from ignorance when they insist God is
responsible for the apparent design in nature. The design argument makes a case
that certain features of nature are best explained by an intelligent cause. But
a common criticism is that this arbitrarily inserts God as a placeholder to fill
a gap in our knowledge, a gap which science will eventually explain, leaving God
without any role. However, this is a caricature of the way design proponents
really argue. Creationists infer divine design for sound reasons, not based on a
lack of knowledge. In fact, atheists are often the ones who blindly assume the
gaps will be filled with naturalistic explanations, regardless of the evidence,
as this episode points out.
