agnostic. Nineteenth-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley coined the word agnostic, one who believes there is no proof of God’s existence but does not doubt the possibility that God exists. The anonymous rhyme “I do not know, / it may be so” sums up the position. Huxley, who described himself as “a man without a rag or label to cover himself ” coined his label from the Greek a, “without, not,” and gnostic, which is related to the Greek gnosis, “knowledge.” |
