agnosticism, (from Greek agnōstos, “unknowable”), strictly speaking, the doctrine that humans cannot know of the existence of anything beyond the phenomena of their experience. Which one is the agnostic position: a) The nature of god is unknown or b) It’s impossible to know if there are things in existence that fit the description of gods |
Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 2:19pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
KnownUnknown:That's one part of Agnosticism another part of it is that, there's no evidence for or against the existence of some certain gods |
Re: Agnosticism by KnownUnknown: 2:21pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch: That’s the only part. What is “God” other than your “agnostic” name for your particular notion of a god? |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 2:21pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch:What are the qualities of these “certain gods” that’s different from other gods, and how did those “certain gods arrive at those qualities different from other gods? |

Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 2:27pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
KnownUnknown:and yes, it's impossible to know many things, including the existence of God |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 2:28pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch:If it’s impossible to know, then the idea of a god or deistic god will be wrong instantly since no one knows. The moment someone claim they know this “unknowable” that’s a clear indication that they are saying rubbish. Read the definition

Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 2:28pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch: Can’t you see your error. Something is unknown, yet you are calling it “god”? |
Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 2:31pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
KnownUnknown:humans will never know whether the universe was created or not for scientific reasons |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 2:32pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch: Bro, thank you. I’m an atheist because I’m agnostic.

Re: Agnosticism by KnownUnknown: 2:33pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch: Maybe you should understand the position you take before yapping about whatever it is you call “God” This is from your source: Agnostics assert that it's impossible to know how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist. Now, how is that different from my position of b) and how does it support your position of a) KnownUnknown: |

Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 2:36pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
KnownUnknown:I am not arguing this, I am saying that agnostic also do not believe or disbelieve the existence of a god. |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 2:37pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch:And this unknowable thing is called god, we even know that the nature of this thing called god is unknowable bwahahahah You are not a true agnostic. |
Re: Agnosticism by KnownUnknown: 2:45pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch: Of course not, you have no leg to stand on. |
Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 2:46pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
KnownUnknown:Of course, the leg is suppose to be the evidence for or against god. No one stands on thin air |
Re: Agnosticism by jaephoenix(m): 2:49pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch:What certain gods? |
Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 2:50pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
jaephoenix:for me, particularly, a deistic god. We have different versions of them though |
Re: Agnosticism by DeepSight(m): 2:51pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
LordReed: We are getting somewhere. |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 2:52pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch:Since we are ignorant and do not know this unknowable thing, the idea of a deistic god can not be right then. Workch, let’s all stick to I DONT KNOW and reject any explanation given to us by scientists and Theists, because everyone is ignorant of it, any idea propose can never be right, because this thing is unknownable.

Re: Agnosticism by jaephoenix(m): 2:56pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch:Which one specifically? I don't want to chase you around bushes this hot afternoon |
Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 3:01pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
jaephoenix:A specific kind of God that caused the singularity to form before big bang. That one How can you prove or disprove that god? |
Re: Agnosticism by DeepSight(m): 3:06pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
KnownUnknown: Lets keep it this simple. Gnostic - "I know." Agnostic - "I don't know." End of. |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 3:06pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
Workch:This unknowable thing formed before big bang? There was no other process except big bang? The concept of big bang is our available explanation, in the next hundred years we may have a better explanation and disprove big bang, But you’ve already limited this god to “big bang”. Bwahahahah |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 3:07pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
DeepSight: Then any explanation that tries to explain the universe will be automatically wrong and rejected, because no one can know. I’m an atheist because I’m agnostic. |

Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 3:10pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
jaephoenix:That's why I am agnostic in the first place, I don't know if it's a god that caused it or not. Deist say that it's a god, atheist say it's not. Me: we can never know, we don't know. 1 Like |
Re: Agnosticism by Maynman: 3:11pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
DeepSight:We don’t need to say anything is right and wrong, we will reject it because no one can know. Their explanation of the universe is wrong from their first statement because no one can know. |
Re: Agnosticism by Workch: 3:12pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
DeepSight:exactly what atheists and theists don't want to understand |
