ATHEIST & AGNOSTIC BY: MARK HEARNS & OLIVER COPPOLINO

ATHEIST - DEFINITION  An atheist is a person who does not believe in the existence of a god.  Etymology: atheos, from Ancient Greek; literally means without god.  a- “without” + theos “god”  Atheist contrasts with the term theist, or a person that believes in the existence of a god.

AGNOSTIC - DEFINITION  1 st Definition: An agnostic is a person who does not know if there is a god.  2 nd Definition: A person who doubts or does not have knowledge in some area of study.  Etymology: agnostos, from Ancient Greek; literally means without knowledge.  a- “without” + gnostos “knowledge”

BELIEF VS KNOWELDGE  Atheism is about belief.  Agnosticism is about knowledge.  The two terms are not mutually exclusive.  Not all agnostics are atheists and not all atheists are agnostics.

RENE DESCARTES  Was a theist.  Only had belief in two things:  A) Himself  B) The existence of God  Single handedly started modern philosophy.

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE  Was an atheist.  Is most famous for the quote “God is dead”.  He saw god as a concept used to justify morality.  All philosophy after Nietzsche is a response to Nietzsche.

CHARLES DARWIN  Was an agnostic theist.  Most famous for On the Origin of Species and our current concept of evolutionary theory  “The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.“ – Charles Darwin

DAVID HUME  Was an agnostic atheist.  Thought that we didn’t have a reason to believe the sun would rise each morning.  Skepticism: Everything in the universe can be doubted.
