Evolutionists often accused creationists of using a God of the gaps argument that is filling in gaps in our knowledge with God. However, that's exactly what they do with naturalism because no matter what the evidence says they will always jump to the conclusion that there has to be a natural explanation for it regardless of what probability or known laws of nature indicate.
The point is that evolutionists always will fill in something they do not have an answer for by insisting that there is a naturalistic explanation. They may rely on the vague idea that there has to be a naturalistic explanation. They will sometimes put a label on that so-called explanation without actually providing an explanation. This is most common when they are trying to deal with it in an official scientific context such as a paper.
The two best known examples of this are dark matter and dark energy. No one has any real clue as to what either of these are supposed to be. They are simply naturalistic patches that allow The Big Bang cosmology to work. In fact their properties can each be varied in just the right way to ensure that they make the Big Bang fit reality. However, they are both just naturalistic “explanations” that fill in gaps in our knowledge. They are literally a naturalism of the gaps and.
In conclusion evolutionists will invent naturalistic “explanations” that are too broad to be falsifiable and call it science. They will invent labels for these “explanations” and teach it as though they have actually discovered something. Ultimately, it is all nothing but a naturalism of the gaps position.
