Re: What is 'science of the gaps'?

Otto made the following statement.

If someone had their science 100% accurate, they would have no need for theology
On other words given sufficient information he believes that science can give a material or naturalistic answer to all of the big questions.
I'm not sure what Otto meant, but suspect that you might be misinterpreting him.
Scientists who say that they have no need for theology are mostly not saying that science has answers to all of the big questions. They are only saying that theology doesn't have answers - or at least doesn't have real answers.

Jesus was a liberal hippie
