Definition of Agnosticism

Agnosticism That doctrine which, professing ignorance, neither asserts nor denies. The doctrine that the existence of a personal Deity, an unseen world, etc., can be neither proved nor disproved, because of the necessary limits of the human mind (as sometimes charged upon Hamilton and Mansel), or because of the insufficiency of the evidence furnished by physical and physical data, to warrant a positive conclusion (as taught by the school of Herbert Spencer); -- opposed alike dogmatic skepticism and to dogmatic theism.

Clarence Darrow I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means. Clarence Darrow Agnosticism has nothing to impart. Its sermons are the exhortations of one who convinces you he stands on nothing and urges you to stand there too. Anna Julia Cooper
