"I am an agnostic, not an athiest, because I can't figure out an answer to the question - "Then who/what created the creator"?

So, I figure, if there is a God I could believe in, I figure that he would rather have an honest agnostic, rather than a hypocritical believer. "

Your belief then seems to be, that if it can't be proven, it doesn't exist. That's the failure of science, that it does not acknowledge that which is beyond human understanding.

Does that not make for a very small plain of existence? And does that not leave unanswered many important questions about life?

Actually, Physics does acknowledge that which is beyond our understanding and the Physicists calculate the quantum probabilities in order to continue'figuring' even in the face of missing absolutes.

I never said any such thing, I said I was an agnostic, not an atheist. It takes as much faith to be an athiest as a believer. I am AGNOSTIC - (don't know)

"Does that not make for a very small plain of existence? And does that not leave unanswered many important questions about life?"

Actually, the mind is a wonderful place, and the plain of existence is quite broad. Just to contemplate the universe, look through the Hubble. Read Isaac Azimov's 'Foundation' and blow your mind.

However, I am quite happy with being an agnostic, however, the 'certainy' of the believer does lead to a more tranquil, non-thinking life, as you have nothing to prove.
