The agnostic simply does not know whether a god exists but is willing to believe if suitable evidence (other than scripture) appears. I suppose this is a reasonable definition for how I feel. An atheist is perhaps too close-minded about the subject. A god could be anything from some general energy field to nature to beings with vastly superior technology, etc. Stuart
