    No.

    It's a philosophy, not a natural science, and it's based on zero evidence in the physical world.

    however, agnostics recognize the rights of deists and non-deists
    it's brilliant not to be a monotheist

    That doesn't make it anything like the natural sciences.

    I have enough brains to understand any science

    I don't know about you personally, but but that almost certainly isn't true in general. In any case that has nothing to do with your topic, which is that agnosticism is more like a natural science. Again...no.

    such an answer is better than the opinion of forum members about stupid deism

    Agnosticism shows that somebody is vastly more intelligent than anybody who would term themselves an Atheist......

    One would have to be nearly totally ignorant of String Theory... The Anthropic Principle.... The Law of Complexity Consciousness.... The Law of Probability and Multiverse Theory to term themselves an Atheist!!!!

    www.CarbonBias.blogspot.ca/


    Does Richard Dawkins Ph. D. lack understanding of The Anthropic Principle?

    Dr. Dawkins made some good points....
    but he ignored the elephant in the room.......

    the fact that INTELLIGENCE would almost certainly begin first in Energy from Quantum Vacuum..... and four dimensional carbon based life would be one of the least energetic and youngest life forms in the universe or multiverse.

    This is TOTALLY missing all possible rational points that could be made.

    Neither atheists nor agnostics are some how magically inconvincible.

    All that would be required would be actual evidence.

    As for Christianity in particular, the declaration is that believers accept their god WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. It is declared to be By FAITH ALONE.
    It's not evidenced by some guy who died and then goes on Youtube to declare there is a god. The bible says it is by faith. A dead guy can't counter that.

    As an atheist, some god COULD convince me. I just don't see that as a likelihood. So, my credence is heavily negative, but not zero.

    And, I'm not opposed to the agnostic view: the view or belief that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable.

    That has the added implication that science is not a valid approach to any question related in any way to a god or the supernatural.


    PS: Don't pluck words from science and claim it has ANYTHING AT ALL to do with god or the supernatural. It doesn't.
