What Is An Agnostic?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    An agnostic is a person who while not disproving the existence of God in the same way as an atheist, believes that knowing if there is a God is an unknowable situation. They therefore remain noncommittal, and open to evidence if presented. Most agnostics claim that it is impossible to state with any certainty that God exists and that Absolutes of faith are incompatible with life. Agnostics can also be divided into different categories of strength, from those who firmly believe in the inscrutability of absolutes, to those who while believing that the existence of God is unlikely, do not conclude that this is unknowable in the future. Like atheism in some ways, agnosticism takes the view that without evidence, any idea has to remain abstract and beyond any claims of definitive reality. These views are famously contained within works written by Bertrand Russell, Robert G. Ingersoll and Thomas Henry Huxley.

      I feel I am an agnostic. I feel there is a mother theory of all theory, I like to understand omnipotent energy or supernatural power in terms of scientific research and logical and sometime analytical thinking, hypothetical situations are accepted in scientific research so why not in understanding god. So I dont invest my self in rituals oriented to idol but rather I prefer searching for something that cannot be seen or felt but exist..............Thats what I understand

        More likely a person that believes in a creator but does not subscribe to any religious views.
