Agnosticism

Agnosticism applies to everything from religion to physics. To be Agnostic about something means that you believe in the possibility of its truth, not necessarily that you believe in it. If a person claims to be Agnostic, it is most commonly believed that that person believes in god, but does not have a particular religion. This is true in many cases, however it Agnosticism can also be described as skepticism, which can be applied to a variety of topics. However, it seems that saying you are skeptical about the creation theory differs from saying that you are skeptical about the existence of god, as being skeptical about god is more associated with being Atheist than the other. I honestly would have to say I that I believe being Agnostic s more practical and logical than being an Atheist. Even if you do not necessarily believe in god, it never hurts to be open to the possibility. Being open-minded is very important in the path to gaining knowledge
