I am wondering how something could be intelligent and yet have no consciousness. Anyway, if this presence were to represent a sort of God, I think that for many people a God without consciousness would not be appealing at all. The idea of God loving you and caring for you is gone, since It does not have the capacity to do either of those things. There would be no reason to worship this God or pray to it. You could sit and marvel and the wonder and mystery, but it still would not provide you with any sense of purpose. Throughout history religion has continued to shape its views based on scientific discoveries. Each time something new is learned, a new gap is filled. I think it's only a matter of time before this "God of the Gaps" is totally eliminated.
