You are confusing deism for agnosticism. You dont know the difference That something is called “god”. Atheists don’t believe in “something”, they don’t believe in god/theos, it has names. If you want to define it as “unknownable something” find another term for it.

LordReed: Oh ok. In that case I am not sure that it would be a thing since the principles themselves are already steeped in skepticism already. What would be the point of being skeptical about skepticism? If they say something is unknowable is that not a claim already? Because if something is unknowable you won’t even know it is unknowable, so putting a name on this “unknowable” already defeats the principle. |

triplechoice: It's difficult for the theist and atheist to understand right off the bat the agnostic neutral stand .
Both struggle to reconcile agnosticism with the extreme position they have both taken on the matter.
And what is the issue under contention? It's simply this ;
What is responsible for the world we currently live in, or how did it come about?
Creation by a God,gods, chance or what else we cannot even imagine?
Some theists are certain a God or gods are responsible .
Atheists ,who on the other hand, are opposed this, have not come up with any definite answer to this question , but only relying on the arguments put forward by theist to arrive at their own conclusion.
In the midst of this uncertainty and lack of accurate knowledge to answer the question correctly, the agnostic has decided to remain neutral and not say anything until there's enough evidence to be sure .That's it.
And who can tell ? It's possible the world was "created" by "something" we cannot even fathom at this point in time ,and if that's the case , then theists who are insisting on God or gods may be closer to the truth than the rest of us think.
If it's not ,then they are completely wrong.
But how can we know the truth and end all arguments?
It's only when we can begin to investigate it scientifically, but at the moment we are very far from doing so . No enough data to work with or current methods in the sciences may not be suited for such a task.
We are yet to understand much about the world we collectively share ,not to talk of "something" that may be beyond it . I don’t think you understand what theism and atheism is. Whatever is the creator of the world is it a must for it to be termed “god”? If you want to be neutral about a topic, you should have knowledge on what you are neutral about. It’s kinda hypocritical. In Revelation 3:15-16, it says: "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth." |

Workch: If it happened, we will see the evidence that it did via fossil records showing mass extinction and geological eroisons to prove it but the evidence says that a global flood did not occur 4000 years ago. Even if it did, it still doesn't prove that 8 people ran a zoo containing millions of animals for a year. The deity could have cleared the evidence, and “Absence of Evidence does not mean Evidence of Absence”. |

Queenttoast01: Hebrews chapter 2 King James Version
1Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? 5For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
