Did you know that scientist have barely,in the latter part of the 20th century, come to find out that there are, in fact, underground water springs beneath the ocean floor? Yes,its true.The holy scriptures made this known to mankind over 3,500 years ago in the book of Genesis 7:11.READ IT.
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.: Genesis 7:11
Science of the gaps.
You just destroyed atheism of blue fairies, like I did of God in the OP. See how easy it is to destroy the faith based atheism?

Science of the gaps.
We are still waiting for your evidence :slap:
You have only provided factual conjecture and unsubstantiated imagination.
Some issues:Follow the logic:
1) Science says that the universe shouldnt exist in its present form.
2) The Bible says that God created the universe in its present form.
3) The universe does exist in its present form.
4) Therefore God exists.
something isnt quite adding up.

How is saying science doesn't have all the answers and therefor we need to investigate and learn more about the universe before we make knowledge claims about it the same as asserting that you already have all the answers (God) which fill in the gaps of scientific knowledge? Those aren't even remotely the same.
That doesn't work for a couple reasons.
#1 Are fairies Gods? If not, that has nothing to do with atheism.
#2 atheism is not a faith based position.
#3 he actually just demonstrated how ridiculous your argument is because he can get the same result from plugging something else non existent into the equation and still get the same answer.
Which God is for the atheist to ponder. We can see from the OP that science is merely the gap filler for the atheist to satisfy their curiosity about the universe. They have faith that science will one day find the answer and that faith is based on a pre-adherence to naturalism.
Imagination can be used by anyone yes I agree.
Unfortunately we see exactly how man creates gods.
Science of the gaps is a nonsensical statement. And what gaps would we be filling with science? Science illuminates our universe and we have pockets of ignorance amount certain things that are ever receding. Not knowing something and giving it a divine attribute has occurred since the dawn of civilization and probably prior. However that doesn't make it correct as every major discovery that we had previously attributed to god....wasn't god. Every single time without fail that we have discovered the secrets behind long standing mysteries it ends up not being god. So I find that to continue to do this would be rather asinine.
When the scientific evidence shows that the universe shouldn't exist in it's present form, yet an atheist says "just trust science", then that is a science gap filler. The atheist is saying "there is a gap in our knowledge and I will fill it with science" "Just wait on science to discover more and fill in what we don't know." That's no different than saying God did it.
Three things:Which God is for the atheist to ponder. We can see from the OP that science is merely the gap filler for the atheist to satisfy their curiosity about the universe. They have faith that science will one day find the answer and that faith is based on a pre-adherence to naturalism.

What evolutionary purpose(s) does imagination serve? Humans aren't able to create something from nothing; they're reconstructing what already exists. Scientific theories are likewise reconstructions of perceived reality, according to experiments and repetition. Ignorance and limited perceptive ability will always be a common factor.
