Re: Agnosticism
"Agnostic" simply means "without knowledge."
Agnosticism is the belief that one cannot know whether or not there is/are (a) divine being(s).
Atheism is the lack of belief in (a) divine being(s).
The Bible extolls agnostic theism, since it argues that proof would discount faith .
Most atheists are agnostic atheists.
VERY few atheists claim to KNOW that there is/are no god/gods.
Theism is the belief in divinity
Atheism is the lack of belief in divinity
Agnosticism is the belief that one can't know, for sure, one way or the other.
One can believe, but not know.
One can also disbelieve, but not know.
I am in the second category. I am an agnostic atheist.
Agnostic DOESN'T mean "undecided," it is simply the logical interpretation of the data... science, as it stands, can neither prove, nor disprove, the divine.
Theism/Atheism, has to do with what you decide to believe beyond what can be known (or what you believe can be known)... Theism/Atheism designates whether or not one believes that there is a/are divine being/beings; Agnosticism indicates belief that mortals can't prove one way or the other.
