Lightning and sodomy are intrinsically related along your gap theory... Lightning thunder and rainbows are all related to Atmosphere contraction which we don't want in a flooded oceanic world where we are supposed to be get the atmosphere back to the heavens!!! Wait till the expanding universe starts coming at us when the planet flips... Give it 4 to 6 years to do a barrel roll even if we are pulling on the brakes!! 🍏 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎
This piece explains and justifies a belief in God, and indeed touches on why I realize I am not agnostic, really. But a belief in a Substance, an Underpinning, of the Universe is not the same, at all, as being a Christian. Obviously, a single article on Substack cannot march the entire trail; this is but a single step. I would like to see at least a map of the whole way. There must be many detours and dead ends. Perhaps you have already written such a guide, or are in the process of doing so.
" . . . it all radiated a profound sense of intentional design. To me, it wasn’t a gap screaming for a filler. It was evidence pointing unmistakably to a Creator."
WE (humans, intelligence, consciousness) exist because God exists--in His image and likeness. WE are proof He exists. No proof of other equally intelligent creatures (or greater, all political jokes aside) around anywhere else in this "Universe."

I've written many pieces on various aspects of what got me from atheism to Christianity, but not a comprehensive guide. That's a good idea, Jackson.

So, yes.
I tell my skeptical followers that even without any other evidence, my existence alone would convince me of God's existence.
