Many primitive religions have creation myths that line up better with God of the gaps magical cosmos creator theory than the absurd and extensively debunked Judeo Chrstian faith.

For instance:

Mbūngi (also called mwasi and mpampa) was symbolized as a circle of emptiness. The creator god Nzambi, along with his female counterpart called Nzambici, is believed to have created a spark of fire, called kalūnga, and summoned it inside of mbūngi. Kalūnga grew and became a great force of energy inside of mbūngi, creating a mass of fusion. When the mass grew too hot, the heated force caused the mass to break apart and hurl projectiles outside of mbūngi. Those projectiles became individual masses that scattered about, and when the fires cooled, planets were created. This was the process Nzambi used to create the universe, with the Sun, stars, planets, etc. Nzambi Ampungu then became Kalūnga, the god of fire and change.[3][4

So if you are going to be a God of the gaps apologist, don't be a Christian one and find religions that at least vaguely align with scientific understanding

I agree with that. I’m in the same camp as Elon Musk — there’s a Creator, but religions have just put different labels on it. I don’t get caught up in the various traditions or rituals, and I don’t see the Creator as a personal God.

Well yes, at that point the difference between theists and atheists becomes abstract. If not a personal being, who is to say your "creator" is not the sum of innate forces moving the universe, pretty much the same as what atheists believe without mystical angles

So why do "sophisticated" scientific apologists still peddle Christianity?

The answer is as always: cold hard dollars

Ain't nobody buying your books and following you if you aren't promising eternal life to the paupers. Sad but fact of life.
