Abstract
Agnosticism is the position that the existence of God or the supernatural is unknown, inherently unknowable, or beyond human comprehension.
“An agnostic person is the one who believes that nothing can be known about the existence of God or anything else beyond the material, and and may therefore prefer to make an affirmation rather than an oath.” 1
The term agnosticism is coined by Thomas Huxley, a British biologist. It is originated from Greek “a” meaning without and “gnosis” meaning knowledge, which later interpreted as truth of God is unknowable to us.
