Unless I'm mistaken, halfway between anything equals fifty percent. Like the fifty yard line in a game; it's halfway between two ends. The same way that I would call myself halfway a believer and halfway an atheist, hence the word agnostic. Since I even know an equal amount about all three of those philosophies, I serve both extremes equally. I share non of the fanaticism of the believers, nor do I hold of no value the questioning of the athiest. I'm the one in the middle respecting both.
Who said agnostic was halfway? You need to read the definition of agnostic as it has nothing to do with halfway. It has to do with facts and knowledge and since it is a fact that we are probably never going to get the knowledge that allows us to believe in a God we are closer to atheist.

How can we be so arrogant and egotistical to believe that the whole Universe was created just for us?
