Agnosticism and Atheist

Made by: Tibo, Gwan Tae and Kevin Jeong

Agnosticism

Agnosticism is the belief that the existence or non-existence of any deity is unknown and possibly unknowable.

Agnosticism is about knowledge, and knowledge is a related but separate issue from belief, the domain of theism and atheism.

This is a term coined by Thomas Huxley in the middle of the 19th century. It is the "doctrine that humans cannot know of the existence of anything beyond the phenomena of their experience."

Agnosticism

There are different kinds of agnosticism: - Absolute agnosticism

Not possible to know whether a god/gods exists or not.

- Empirical agnosticism At present, there is not enough information to know whether any god/gods exists or not, but we might find out someday. - Apathetic agnosticism It does not matter whether any god/gods exists or not.
