My "God of the gaps" fallacy senses are tingling.

can you elaborate on where i have been using that fallacy for my argument?

Because your attempt to link the concepts you mentioned to the supernatural was a non sequitor. The topic was about observation of concepts that led to stable prosperous societies and unstable chaotic societies, not the supernatural. In addition, you made no references to any direct observations of how supernatural phenomena affects those concepts nor have you also proven the existence of those supernatural phenomena. So in order for your "God of the Gaps" fallacy to not be true, you have to:

(1) Prove the existence of supernatural phenomena by providing direct, observable evidence.
(2) Prove that the supernatural phenomena are caused by God because the claim that supernatural phenomena can occur without God is as valid as the claim that they can occur with God.
(3) Identify the specific phenomena that supposedly lead to the formation of the concepts that promote stable societies.
(4) Prove that there is a causal (correlation is not adequate enough) relationship between supernatural phenomena and those concepts.

However, considering that your arguments are solely reliant of the Proof By Assertion fallacy and do not fulfill the burden of proof, it is impossible for you to disprove my "God of the Gaps" fallacy claim.
