Non-sequitors are not scientific. Which is what you do when you say a gap in knowledge implies something else for which there is no actual evidence for. People would think you mad if you went around telling them that not knowing who came up with the word 'OK' means that it must have been given to us by aliens but yet this is exactly what ID proponents do.
Pointing out problems in current evolutionary theory(ies) is science - plugging those holes with data pulled from one's butt is not.
