I've heard people declare that if your church doesn't have people speaking in tongues and being slain in the spirit, you should find a different church, because the Holy Spirit isn't there.

The gift of speaking in tongues is often described as the ability to speak in heavenly languages: the languages of angels or of the Holy Spirit Himself. Does this belief stand up to close Biblical scrutiny?
Christians have been accused, most notably by Richard Dawkins, of worshipping and believing in a "God of the gaps". That is, whatever science doesn't yet understand is where we Christians claim God is. Is this true?
