Although depending on your definitions, you might class me as an agnostic :) I'm pretty scientifically aware, and I've been on my ongoing quest to find convincing evidence of God for almost a decade :)

I'm always amazed at the obsession atheists have with Christian forums and then I remember how incomplete and lost they are without a personal connection to God through Jesus Christ, the only way to possess that, which drives it.

therein lies a conundrum of having others presume to know you better than you know yourself ^^ comes with the territory.

Thanks! :) I wish there was an atheist version of 'Jesus loves you' I could say, but science loves you wouldn't make any sense :p So I'll just say, I love you :) (In a brotherly way)

Agnostics aren't Atheist you know. Agnostics just don't pick a side Atheist won't believe without proof.

And welcome to CC HappyLuck.

Dekote wouldn't you say that an agnostic is someone who isn't convinced there is a God, and isn't convinced there isn't a God, and therefore don't currently believe there is a God - qualifying them as atheists?

Welcome to CC, HappyLuke! It's great to know that you're the friendly type. Aggressive atheists aren't exactly happy company. :)

Agnostics also wont believe without proof, anyone who doesn't consider themselves to know with certainty if a god exists or not is an agnostic

Actually almost all Agnostics believe there is a god, they're just unsure of which one might be true.
It's almost like say a Confucion is an Athiest if you go by that standard.

anyway..... i do pray that God will change your opinion about His existence through this site... no one's gonna force Christianity down your throat, you can be sure about that... and yes, we believe because we've experienced.... there's nothing wrong with wanting proof... so I do pray you'll encounter Christ personally :)
stay blessed!!:)
and have fun here :):)

Well Dekote, we are obviously just using slightly different definitions. That's fine, there's no such thing as official meanings, we just need to be clear with each other about what we mean. I use the word agnostic to describe anyone who doesn't consider themselves to know for certain if any gods exist or not. I'd divide them into agnostic theists, and agnostic atheists, depending of if they believe. I agree with your statistic, because I think most theists are agnostic because they don't consider themselves to know absolute proof of God, I think gnostic theists are a minority among theists- just like gnostic atheists are a minority among atheists, because most people are aware you could never disprove all definitions of gods, most are unfalsifiable. The vast majority of atheists are agnostic atheists; they don't believe in any gods, and they don't feel they know with certainty. This is the way the words are popularly used in the atheist community, but again, there's no right and wrong when it comes to definitions :) Dictionaries don't prescribe official meanings, they try to describe popular usages

Welcome

Hope you'll stick around. And that you learn more from those who have wise things to say than the few who argue :)

You're right, because in every large group there are different denomination that keep you from mixing them all together.

And just to be clear, I thought I was replying to AgeofKnowldge so I gave the most appropriate definition of Agnostic(because that's the majority and all)

Hi HappyLuke. I hope that you are treated well here. I am new to this site as well. So far I have seen that there are a lot of people that like to argue on here, but... if you are patient and a little enduring... you will find some very loving, powerful, and grounded people. That has been my experience so far and I hope that you have the same.

What are your thoughts on God? I am a Q & A kind of person. I love questions and answers. Especially challenging questions that require some thought and study. So if you happen to have any... ask away! I am sure I will have some for you as well. I also like science so I have studied probably some of the same things that you might have, or at least similar. I have spent a lot of time connecting the dots and have discovered that God and science do not contradict one another unless one or the other is removed.

Add me to your friends if you would like.
