Mantus, yes, filling gaps, that's it. What I mean though is God does not fill gaps in knowledge. God more accurately fills gaps in Who You Are. You can argue that God isn't needed to fill that gap that all humans feel in some way and that it can be filled by intellectual enlightenment or whatever various means, but my point is that the gap is inevitably a part of human existence and undoubtedly, in my opinion, some humans would turn to a god to fill it.
And, to put another spin on Zander's question, the entire premise assumes that there isn't a God in the first place. However, if there IS a God then it's necessarily true...well, at least in the sense of a Christian God, I can't say for the others...that if everyone forgot about God and sharing of the Bible stopped, etc etc, that He would do something to instigate people to begin turning towards Him again. Therefore, if there is a God, then it's impossible. If there isn't, I still think it's impossible.
