Hi Lanya
what I am trying to say in my interpretation of what agnosticism is for me (that was a bit longer than I expected)
We have beliefs, theories, laws, hypotheses etc. We gather evidence, and the possible results are:
the belief etc does not fit the evidence and has to be discarded.
the belief has to be modified
the belief etc is still valid
there could be other possible variations
But the the point is I cannot prove the belief (etc). And if cannot prove it, I have difficulty knowing something. (I know there's a circular argument here,
)
So not knowing turns out to be a way of life, it's not from the want of trying or lack of trying.
It's not 'fence sitting', I think I'm trying to say?
