Bertrand Russell In conclusion, there is a marvelous anecdote from the occasion of Russell's ninetieth birthday that best serves to summarize his attitude toward God and religion. A London lady sat next to him at this party, and over the soup she suggested to him that he was not only the world's most famous atheist but, by this time, very probably the world's oldest atheist. "What will you do, Bertie, if it turns out you're wrong?" she asked. "I mean, what if uh when the time comes, you should meet Him? What will you say?" Russell was delighted with the question. His bright, birdlike eyes grew even brighter as he contemplated this possible future dialogue, and then he pointed a finger upward and cried, "Why, I should say, 'God, you gave us insufficient evidence.'" Al Seckel, in Preface to Bertrand Russell on God and Religion

43. Weak Agnosticism Graham Oppy defends weak agnosticism, the view that it is permissible for reasonable persons to suspend judgement on the question of God's existence. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/graham_oppy/agnostic.html

PAID ADVERTISEMENTS Library Modern Documents Graham Oppy : Weak Agnosticism Defended Weak Agnosticism Defended[ Graham Oppy Agnosticism has had some bad press in recent years. Nonetheless, I hope to show that agnosticism can be so formulated that it is no less philosophically respectable than theism and atheism. This is not a mere philosophical exercise; for, as it happens, the formulated position is I think the one to which I subscribe. I include a qualification here since it may be that the position to which I subscribe is better characterised as fallibilist atheism but more of that anon. I begin by distinguishing between two different kinds of agnosticism. On the one hand, there is strong agnosticism , i.e. the view which is sustained by the thesis that it is obligatory for reasonable persons to suspend judgement on the question of God's existence. And, on the other hand, there is weak agnosticism , i.e. the view which is sustained by the thesis that it is permissible for reasonable persons to suspend judgement on the question of God's existence. Strong agnosticism is characteristically defended by appeal to the apparent lack of good independent evidential support for the claim that God exists. Underlying this appeal there is typically an epistemological principle which resembles the following:

About Agnosticism If you've read my other "philosophy" pages , you've probably discerned that I do not believe in any religion. You'd be correct. I am, properly speaking, an Agnostic. Here is my explanation of what is meant by "agnosticism." Note On Terminology In this essay, the term "theistic" refers to any metaphysical philosophy, or religion, with at least one deity at its heart. Such deities may be metaphorical, or representations of natural forces, or actual Supreme Beings of some kind. The term "non-theistic" refers to any metaphysical philosophy, or religion, which does not have any deities at its core. Such philosophies consider the existence of deities to be irrelevant to the message they convey. This is contrasted with "atheism," which is an assertion that there cannot be any deities of any kind. I'll mention atheism in more detail, below. What Is Agnosticism?

46. Agnostic Nevertheless, while agnosticism claims to sit on the fence, many agnostics are practical atheists, in that they actively pursue the atheistic lifestyle http://www.agnostic-1.com/

Agnostic Review Agnostic - Agnostos The English term "agnostic" is derived from the Greek "agnostos," which means, "to not know." An agnostic is one who admits, "I don't know." The term is applied specifically to those who don't know for certain whether or not God exists. An agnostic is one who believes that the existence of God is unknown and most likely beyond human ability to discover. Agnostic - Sitting on the Fence By definition, an agnostic is not committed to believing in or disbelieving in the existence of God. Nevertheless, while agnosticism claims to "sit on the fence," many agnostics are "practical atheists," in that they actively pursue the atheistic lifestyle; that is, they tend to subscribe to moral relativism and live out their lives without any concern for ultimate accountability. Agnostic - Evidence For God? Can the agnostic know whether or not God exists? Is such knowledge obtainable by mere men? Modern scientific endeavor seems to indicate that such knowledge is obtainable to the objective observer. Let's examine the facts objectively The point is, if you were to find a stator, rotor, drive-shaft, U-joint, or propeller in any vehicle, any machine, any toy or model, you would recognize it as the product of an intelligent source. No one would expect any outboard motor, much less one this incredible, would ever be the product of a chance assemblage of parts. That is absurd. Outboard motors are the product of intelligent design. (Michael Behe, "Darwin's Black Box," 1996.)

48. The Origin Of The Word 'Agnosticism' An article by Bill Young providing the origin of the word Agnostic. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/reason/agnosticism/agnostic.html

PAID ADVERTISEMENTS Home Library Modern Documents Nontheism ... Agnosticism : The Origin of the Word 'Agnostic' The Origin of the Word Agnostic by Bill Young There is little doubt that Thomas Henry Huxley invented the word agnostic in the Spring of 1869. However, there is conflicting evidence about when this was and what it originally meant. According to R. H. Hutton, as published in the New English Dictionary , Huxley first used the word agnostic at a party at James Knowles's house on Clapham Common prior to the formation of the Metaphysical Society. Hutton also said, "He [Huxley] took it from St. Paul's mention of the altar to 'the Unknown God'." ( New English Dictionary edited by James A. H. Murray. Oxford: At the Clarendon Press, 1888, p. 86.) Huxley, on the other hand, wrote in "Agnosticism" published in The Nineteenth Century in February 1889 that he invented it as a label for himself at the Metaphysical Society, although he didn't say when. He also said, "It [agnostic] came into my head as suggestively antithetic to the 'gnostic' of Church history, who professed to know so much about the very things of which I was ignorant...." (Huxley, Thomas Henry. "Agnosticism" The Nineteenth Century . February, 1889, p. 183.)

Atheism Scientific Thought (Broad 1923) held that the chemical properties of common salt could not even in principle be deduced from those of sodium and chlorine separately, at the very time at which the quantum theory of the chemical bond was beginning to be developed. Though the mind has seemed to some to be strongly emergent from its physical basis, it can be argued that developments in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science and neuroscience favour weak emergence only. 2. An Adequate Concept of God Foundations of Arithmetic One thing that will not differentiate the theist from the atheist is to say that God, if he exists, is necessary in the sense of not being dependent on anything else for his existence. The atheist will say that the universe fits this bill because the universe contains everything that there is and so is not caused by anything else. It is indeed hard to see what an adequate conception of God and his necessary existence could be. For the purposes of this article, let us explore what the relations and lack of relations between atheism and agnosticism could be. Here we shall neglect the requirement of necessary existence and in a later section we shall consider the case of

53. Web.html Essays by James A Haught, an old newspaper editor on agnosticism, books, and other issues. http://www.wvinter.net/~haught/

To Question is the Answer Challenge supernaturalism in all its forms, from religion to ouija boards "Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen." Michel de Montaigne James A. Haught "Religion is all bunk." Thomas Edison Welcome to a quest for mental honesty. I'm an old newspaper editor who has spent half a century chronicling social struggles and cultural tides. Personally, I've waged a long crusade for rational, scientific thinking as an antidote for harmful supernaturalism. I've written five books and many magazine articles against religion, astrology, mysticism, psychic claims, cults, "New Agery," fundamentalism, and other magical beliefs. Although billions of people pray to invisible gods, there's no actual evidence of deities and devils, heavens and hells, spirits and prophecies, etc. They're just imaginary, as far as a sincere inquirer can tell. So, to me, the only honest viewpoint is the humanist one, which doubts the supernatural and focuses on improving human life. This web site contains some of my skeptical pieces - plus others on science, sailing, sex, serenity, the joy of nature, and the meaning of life (or lack thereof). You're free to read, download, print out, circulate or reprint any of these materials.

55. What Is An Agnostic? Bertrand Russell on agnosticism http://www.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/humftp/E-text/Russell/agnostic.htm

What is an Agnostic? Bertrand Russell What Is an agnostic? An agnostic thinks it impossible to know the truth in matters such as God and the future life with which Christianity and other religions are concerned. Or, if not impossible, at least impossible at the present time. Are agnostics atheists? No. An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism. His attitude may be that which a careful philosopher would have towards the gods of ancient Greece. If I were asked to prove that Zeus and Poseidon and Hera and the rest of the Olympians do not exist, I should be at a loss to find conclusive arguments. An Agnostic may think the Christian God as improbable as the Olympians; in that case, he is, for practical purposes, at one with the atheists. Since you deny `God's Law', what authority do you accept as a guide to conduct?

58. Atheism And Agnosticism (GCSE) Atheism and agnosticism (GCSE). It has been said that the highest praise of God consists in the denial of God by the atheist, who http://www.faithnet.org.uk/KS4/Believing in God/atheismgcse.htm

Atheism and Agnosticism (GCSE) 'It has been said that the highest praise of God consists in the denial of [God] by the atheist, who finds creation so perfect that [they] can dispense with a creator' (Marcel Proust) Atheists are people who dispense with the idea of a God and believe the world can be explained through natural means alone. There are many reasons why people are atheists. One of the most common reasons concerns the problem of evil and suffering. This is the idea that if God existed then God would want to do something about evil and suffering. That there is evil and suffering in the world leads some to the conclusion that God does not exist. A similar argument would be that if God existed then God would not allow a family member to die especially if this person was prayed for. Now although we cannot deny that there is a real problem when it comes to trying to explain the existence of evil and suffering and the existence of God it does not follow that because bad things happen in the world God does not exist. This conclusion is invalid for the simple reason that although there are many things wrong with the world it might be that God cannot do anything about it (even if God wanted to). That there is evil and suffering in the world does not automatically have to mean God does not exist. (For more information on this see Evil and Suffering (GCSE) Some people feel the world simply does not need a God and would be better off without one. The economist Karl Marx (1818-83) was one such person. He believed the idea of God (and therefore religion) should be removed in society because he felt religion oppressed the poor. This happened because people tended to leave their problems with God rather than fight for a fair deal in society. As far as Marx was concerned, if people were to get rid of God then they would do something about the oppression of the poor (workers) by the rich overlords. Marx's view of religion led to his famous statement:
