God of the Gap

When there is something that humanity cannot explain, we tried to use the label "God" to bridge the gap.  And eventually when the intelligence of humanity improves, such "God" gets slimmer and slimmer, and it will even vanish one day.

However, the true God should be glorified further when our knowledge increases.  It is because we will be able to appreciate His creations further with our increased knowledge.

There is a common saying that, "We do our best and God do the rest" and to me, it's another form of "god of the gap".  When you do better and better, where is the place of God in that case?  God was diminishing in that case.
