Category:Agnosticism

Agnosticism (from Greek: ἀγνοεῖν a-gnoein "not knowing") refers to an everyday conviction or also well-founded philosophical view that certain assumptions - especially those of a theological nature concerning the existence or non-existence of a higher authority, for example a God - are either unexplained or fundamentally impossible to clarify. The term was coined by the British biologist and anatomist Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895).
