Yes, it is a fallacy, but the question is, are Christians guilty
of it? The answer is, it depends on how one answers it! In other
words, some Christians do argue the God of the gaps, and some do
not. But more often the case it is the atheist who CARICATURES the
answer in an attempt to poison the well, in saying that ALL
Christians commit this fallacy. As the following article well
demonstrates, the god-of-the-gaps argument is only
good against a particular deistic approach to God and nature, and
loses its potency when Scripture and science are pursued
together.

But what the atheist conveniently forgets, and is
obviously blinded to, is his very own fallacious naturalism of
the gaps argument which ALL atheists ALWAYS commit, which is that
what we do not know now from science, given time we will know and
it will have absolutely nothing to do with God.
Sorry about this paragraph you wrote - "But what the atheist conveniently forgets, and
is obviously blinded to, is his very own fallacious naturalism
of the gaps argument which ALL atheists ALWAYS commit, which is
that what we do not know now from science, given time we will know
and it will have absolutely nothing to do with God."
What fallacy are we committing? Any reference?
