Main Argument Impossible to prove existence Impossible to disprove existence

Famous Agnostics Protagoras Charles Darwin Thomas Huxley Voltaire

Protagoras Wrote On The Gods “About the gods, I am not able to know whether they exist or do not exist, nor what they are like in form; for the factors preventing knowledge are many: the obscurity of the subject, and the shortness of human life.” First Agnostic Contemporary of Socrates

Charles Darwin No scientific method to prove or deny existence of any God Coined “natural selection” Supported evolution theory Charles Darwin

Thomas Huxley Passionate about Darwin’s theories Referred to as “Darwin’s Bulldog” Lacked early formal education T.H. Huxley

Conclusion Overall, I found a deeper understanding of agnosticism

Personal Connection I am an agnostic, I am logical and I understand that humans are not capable of knowing the unexplainable.
