Aren't there laws of science yet to be discovered to explain things that we use god to fill the gaps?

The faithful will always attribute everything to gods, no matter how much science has learned.
The scientists will always attribute everything to a learnable scentific explanation, no matter the benefits of religion.
Many people are somewhere in between these two views and open to changes.

If there is something that I really want to figure out, and it can be measured, then I'd look to science for the answers. And if science didn't have the answers, I might just try to find them myself in a scientific manner. However, there are philosophical questions that pose more difficulty, and these cannot always be approached by a direct scientific method, as they are not defined in a way recognizable for scientific study. The gaps do not necessarily need to be filled quickly, but they're good places to go searching for ideas when setting up either a scientific or philosophical inquiry (or perhaps a religious one as well). It's easy to attribute something to God and forget about it or wait for others to figure it out and forget about it. I prefer to be labelled a "seeker" without being pigeonholed as a stooge of science OR a stooge of religion. Maybe I'm a stooge of philosophy. Whichever of the Three Stooges I am, there are certainly things I can't explain. (I can however, offer the defense for the double-fingered eye-poke...)

OK, once again, I’ll speak s-l-o-w-l-y for the thought impaired. We only attribute to God those things the Bible speaks of. The laws of Science were created by God, so when man say’s look what I discovered, it was there before man found it (man didn’t invent it). Scientists are still arguing over a great many things you, no doubt, would like to claim as settled science. And Darwinists, Atheists, and some Evolutionists are trying to call settled science, a great many unproven thoughts (notice I didn’t say theories) with holes bigger that any falsehood they like to attribute to the Bible.
With the agenda for evolution, some scientists use unscientific methods (and propaganda) to try and prove evolution. Then they only create more gaps they have to fill in with more unscientific methods (it’s a vicious cycle, I know). Like the old adage “when first you learn to deceive”, a fib begets a fib etc…
So keep in mind, it takes more faith to believe this all formed accidentally and out of nothing, than to believe someone (God) created it. Hmmmmmmmm, faith leads to religion!

Personally, I don't care how someone else views it. But I do try to find the rational explanation... even though I'm Pagan and do believe in a Higher Power (of sorts). But I don't see a problem with the general public using God to fill in any gaps they find. If they wish to ignore everything else, then that's their right.

uhhh
Science and God are not divorced...
It isn't like a cosmic score board Science 1 God 0 or a cosmic Senate, where questions are assigned either the science party or the God party...
What has science ever really explained? It helps us understand some things and gives us words to use, but it doesn't really explain anything at all...

As a Christian I believe that we should look to see if there is a natural, logical explanation for an event before we even consider the supernatural. However, more than likely there are many that do not consider the supernatural ever a logical solution. So there will always be questions that science cannot fully explain.

Anything and everything happens with the sanction of God. Not even a leave falls from a tree without it being His desire. There are many things that can not be explained nor we can understand. That is due to our lack of understanding and intelligence not because they are badly done or imperfect. Anything God does is perfect. We may not be perfect now, but if we desire, we can achieve perfection by approaching the Perfect One.

Yes and Yes, conveniently enough you can do both and be 100% correct. God is the explanation for everything and in time humans might find explanations to help us better understand through science.

We must look to science. In my opinion, God would hide no truths from us. Scientific facts are truths and should not be ignored because some nonsensical book has another absurd version.
I agree with Damage Control. It is with God's help that the scienctific discoveries have been made.

I am sure if you could you would try and explain away God. I am sure you would count on your fingers his attributes. You would look to the clouds. You may miss something vital science and technologie are proving God exist, enough that his fingerprint is on everything and his eye color defined.
