God of the Gaps

about

(Dedicated to the brilliant Neil deGrasse Tyson for his continued efforts to pull us out of the dark ages)

lyrics

(Commentary by Neil deGrasse Tyson)

Once upon a simple time we wondered
At the prolific evidence for the Divine
In famines and earthquakes and thunder
And anomalies left undefined
But as the limits of our ignorance diminish
The spaces allotted your god shrink with time

What used to constitute an absolute
Is now a matter for debate
Theologians promulgate with attitude
Supplanting the statutes of fact with fate

Questioning faith gives us latitude
To explore the more rational possibilities
I seek the facts not your platitudes
Truth is an eventuality

God used to eat the sun
By Newtonian mechanics, He is undone
The cause of all sickness was evil spirits
Over demons virology has won

What the clergy lack in modern aptitude
Is compounded by a baseless theocracy
When confronted by conflicting vicissitudes
They decry contradictions are the will of god

We used to know everything
But the more we learn the less we know
Comprehension is not a sin
As we increase our understanding
We encapsulate god within

What used to be the god of everything
Is now just the god of the gaps

No Sky Dome no Flat Earth no Flood
No million species on a boat
Plagues and disease are biology
Not the work of the god of the gaps

Comets are not the harbingers of death
Not sent by the god of the gaps
What used to be the god of everything
Is now just the god of the gaps
