‘An agnostic is an atheist who is trying to hedge his bets. :)’
sorry that is nonsense...an agnostic is entirely aware of the fact that he/she cannot possibly know how creation came about, no matter the extent of his scientific learning, nor the fervency of his belief...
‘Believing without evidence is a very dangerous place to be.’
where did I say I believed in anything other than logical analysis...?
Creation has nothing to do with it. An Agnostic believes in the possibility of God. That’s not a belief. It’s a suspicion. That’s basically inventing a God out of thin air if you believe in it. An Agnostic may have seen unexplained incidents (miracles) but that doesn’t translate automatically into God. It could just as easily be explained as The Force.
When I was an atheist, I believed in the concept of “universal evil”(i.e. Satan) because I saw evidence of it. But I didn’t believe in God because I saw no evidence. When I began to investigate the possibility of God, I still remained an atheist because I still had no evidence.
One of my coworkers says he believes in the Flying Spaghetti Monster even though he admits he has no evidence. His belief is based on “other people believe other things”. That’s not really a belief.
