Default Re: Logically refuting atheism in favor of agnosticism

Although that was from my head.. dictionary shows.
Theism:
1. the belief in one God as the creator and ruler of the universe, without rejection of revelation (distinguished from deism).
2. belief in the existence of a god or gods (opposed to atheism).

Atheism:
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.


My point being that atheism is your stance. Do you believe, or don't you. Not why or how.

Agnostic is the belieft that some things are unknowable. In the case of God, that it is not possible, or beyond our limits to know for certain whether there is a god.

For the record, you can be an agnostic theist, or an agnostic atheist.
