"Some people attempt to explain unknown causes in nature by God 's direct intervention . This has been called , `` the God of the gaps. `` While God could certainly intervene in the natural process ( called a miracle ) , to make God responsible for common natural phenomena means that as each scientific discovery finds a natural explanation of what was previously attributed to God , the direct intervention of God becomes unnecessary . That is , as the gaps in knowledge become smaller , the God of these gaps becomes correspondingly smaller . People with this mentality see science as a threat to their faith . Obviously , were such a view held by the founders of modern science , there would have been no incentive to find answers to the natural phenomena . Understanding these natural phenomena as secondary causes , places God above them where increased ability to explain how they occur not only does not `` decrease `` God , but adds wonder to His creation. `` http : //www.leaderu.com/offices/o_hel ... dor_faith.html"
"And depending on what human is `` finding the answers `` it can unfortunately cheapen and deny many central Biblical teachings ."
