A person believing that in the nature of
things we cannot know anything of what lies
behind or beyond the world of natural
phenomena, therefore the existence of God
cannot be proven. The word was coined by T H
Huxley in 1869. An atheist (see atheism)
denies the existence of gods or God; an
agnostic asserts that God or a First Cause is
one of those concepts - others include the
Absolute, infinity, eternity, and immortality
- that lie beyond the re ach of human
intelligence.
