Explanation:
The existence - or lack of - a God is one of humanity's fundamental questions. Since the first birth, the first sunrise, the first death, humans have sought to explain the world around them. The whole of human existence, in the end, comes down to this: Is there a God?

God of the gaps
"To the extent that scientists do not allow for the possibility of God, they cannot aptly explain the origins of the universe. "
This is a God of the gaps argument. At one point in time people made the argument that if we didn't allow the possibility of God we couldn't explain lightning, the sun, weather, etc.
The fact that our knowledge is incomplete does not mean that we need God to fill in the gaps. History has made a fool of such arguments in the past.
