==Description==<br />
'''Agnosticism''' is the view that the [[truth]] [[value]] of certain claims—especially claims about the [[existence]] or non-existence of any [[deity]], but also other religious and [[metaphysical]] claims—is unknown or unknowable. Agnosticism can be [[defined]] in various ways, and is sometimes used to indicate [[doubt]] or a [[skeptical]] approach to [[questions]]. In some senses, agnosticism is a stance about the [[difference]] between [[belief]] and [[knowledge]], rather than about any specific claim or belief. In the popular sense, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves there is a [[God]], whereas an [[atheist]] disbelieves there is a God. In the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that human [[reason]] is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to [[justify]] [[knowledge]] whether God exists or does not. Within agnosticism there are agnostic [[atheists]] (who do not believe any [[deity]] exists, but do not deny it as a [[possibility]]) and agnostic theists (who believe a God exists but do not claim to know that).<br />
<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Henry_Huxley Thomas Henry Huxley], an English biologist, coined the word agnostic in 1869. However, earlier [[thinkers]] and written works have promoted agnostic [[points of view]]. They include [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protagoras Protagoras], a 5th-century BCE Greek philosopher, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasadiya_Sukta Nasadiya Sukta] creation myth in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rig_Veda Rig Veda], an ancient [[Sanskrit]] text.
