Early humans, just beginning to seek explanations for natural things they experienced in their world, found answers by saying those things were caused by gods, or other supernatural figures (like <a href="/wiki/Ghost" title="Ghost">ghosts</a> or <a href="/wiki/Witchcraft" title="Witchcraft">witches</a>); many early "gods" are storm gods (such as <a href="/wiki/Thor" class="mw-redirect" title="Thor">Thor</a>) or gods of the wind (the <i>kami</i>, in <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a>).

As humans developed a simplified <a href="/wiki/Scientific_method" title="Scientific method">scientific method</a>, more "gaps" were filled with naturalistic answers. God or the supernatural were no longer needed as an explanation for those items. And finally, as science took hold of humanity's quest to understand the world, each advance in scientific knowledge reduced the area where a divine power was necessary. <a href="/wiki/Galileo_Galilei" title="Galileo Galilei">Galileo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Newton" title="Isaac Newton">Newton</a> undid the idea that planetary motion was accomplished through the <a href="/wiki/Intelligent_falling" title="Intelligent falling">efforts</a> of <a href="/wiki/Angel" title="Angel">angels</a>.

We learned that earthquakes were <a href="/wiki/Plate_tectonics" title="Plate tectonics">shifts in the plates of the Earth's crust</a>. Even things not yet proven can be shown to have likely or possible natural causes. For example, the discovery by <a href="/wiki/Astronomy" title="Astronomy">astronomers</a> of organic <a href="/wiki/Molecule" title="Molecule">molecules</a> in space revealed that life on <a href="/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a> had a possible explanation that did not (necessarily) involve a creator god.<sup id="cite_ref-Lindsay_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lindsay-3">[3]</a></sup> </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Flawed_logic">Flawed logic</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=God_of_the_gaps&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Flawed logic">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <table style="margin: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border-style:none; background-color:transparent;" class="cquote"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="padding:4px 50px;position:relative;"><span style="position:absolute;left:10px;top:-6px;z-index:1;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-weight:bold;color:#B2B7F2;font-size:36px">“</span><span style="position:absolute;right:10px;bottom:-20px;z-index:1;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-weight:bold;color:#B2B7F2;font-size:36px">”</span>If a philosopher or social scientist were to try to encapsulate a single principle that yoked together the intellectual process of civilization, it would be a gradual dismantling of presumptions of magic. Brick by brick, century by century, with occasional burps and hiccups, the wall of superstition has been coming down. Science and medicine and political philosophy have been on a relentless march in one direction only — sometimes slow, sometimes at a gallop, but never reversing course. Never has an empirical scientific discovery been deemed wrong and replaced by a more convincing mystical explanation. ("Holy cow, Dr. Pasteur! I've examined the pancreas of a diabetic <a href="/wiki/Dog" class="mw-redirect" title="Dog">dog</a>, and darned if it's NOT an insulin deficiency, but a little evil goblin dwelling inside. And he seems really pissed!") Some magical presumptions have stubbornly persisted way longer than others, but have eventually, inexorably fallen to logic, reason and enlightenment, such as the assumption of the divine right of kings and the entitlement of <a href="/wiki/Aristocracy" class="mw-redirect" title="Aristocracy">aristocracy</a>.
