For a God-of-the-gaps thing I’m gonna write soon, I’m trying to find a list of problems that were once considered insoluble by science and therefore used as evidence for divine intercession. I know of some of these, like the complexity of organs like the eye, the planetary motions that baffled Newton, and so on, but I seem to remember a list where many of these things were collected in one place.
The point, of course, is to warn people that what is considered a mystery in one generation, and therefore proof of God, is often solved in the next.
If you know of any such list, or simply want to adduce some examples, please post them below.
