I think it's definitely the Creation myth. The story goes that since there HAS to be a finite beginning of the Universe, and since we cannot conceive of a time before that beginning, there must have been an "originator," who is, by definition, God.
Of course this is flawed logic since why wouldn't the same logic hold true for that primal originator. But Believers don't worry about that flaw, it is dismissed with "a question of faith" or other such postures.

Every supernatural phenomena can be termed as god-of-gaps really.
We know we're made of nature and that's all we have. But if something is not explained or something weird happens, like a cat jumps out of the window and at the same time someone knocks the door... People would start believing that cats are responsible for sales men.

"good judgment potential that this way of God could work together with the universe at quite a number of things" good judgment additionally potential that, whilst something interacts with the universe, it leaves at the back of a measurable quantity, and subsequently is falsifiable. because of fact of this if a deity DOES exist, quicker or later we could constantly be waiting to discover a thank you to stumble upon its existence in this way of way that it may be sparkling and unambiguous. As for the argumentum advert ignoratiam: it extremely is not invalid to label something as 'the god of the gaps' except the guy can prepare that they do no longer seem to be arguing from a component of lack of understanding, yet from a component of a minimum of attainable hypothesis.

I'd say that none of them are very powerful because they try to make God only a function of the mind when God is more than just about reason.

The God-of-the-Gaps of the First Cause Argument seems to be prevalent.
...unfortunately, this god takes double damage from Occam's Razor.
