Jenny, I know you didn’t miss my point – you are ignoring my point.
Yes, I am aware of the “God of the gaps” theory, but the “godless filling the those gaps” requires more faith. (I believe)
(Super) Naturalism permeates the classrooms and Darwin should not be a anti-god leader in the schools.
You are in the 6% group here in the USA that does not believe in (a) God. Now sure you can go around asking the majority here why we are sooo stupid as to believe in God, but moving to China might be a better option.
It seems the burden of proof is on you…

I'm sorry, I thought it was you who had said:
Atheism requires an active belief system. Since no absolute evidence refutes God’s existence, one is required to reject (and reject and reject). A belief without absolute facts requires faith. Does your faith and belief make it true?
This doesn't seem to be saying anything about the God of the Gaps per se. You seem to be saying here that someone who has a negative claim ("I don't believe God/unicorns exist") is the one who "requires an active belief system". This is clearly untrue. The person who makes the positive claim ("I believe God/unicorns exist") is the one who has to have some positive evidence to hang on to; otherwise they need to continually generate some kind of faith to sustain their belief.

OOOOOH! So you think the majority does determine truth!
