The subject matter is broader than the natural sciences. Science is too narrow a tool for the study of these subjects.

While you are at it, add earthquakes tornados, and all the other things science hasn't mastered.

If there's a gap in our ability to predict these phenomena, then they must be sent by God to punish the wicked.

8-) Not exactly comparable.

If evolution was gradual, the fossil record should as a rule be marked by transitional fossils. There seem to be none. Creatures appear in and disappear from the fossil record fully formed.

If evolution occurred in great leaps, there must exist a plausible mechanism for these drastic changes. No plausible mechanism has been identified.

These aren't gaps in knowledge. They're chasms. Believe the theories if you want. But don't confuse the theories with observed natural phenomena, like tornadoes.
