    That question is at the root of Agnosticism. Mankind can not know.........
    If you were given up for adoption as an infant and never knew your birth parents, does that mean that you did not have birth parents?

    Quoted from "Enkidu"
    An agnostic is a person who believes that the existence of a greater power, such as a god, cannot be proven or disproved.

    Agnostics on religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhists, etc): Religious zealots are often viewed as ignorant by agnostics’ because of their blind following of a supreme being which may or may not exist. Agnostics will often question the existence of a supreme power because a lot of modern religious beliefs have no basis in modern logic; therefore blind following of popular religions is viewed as an easy out for people who chose not to think for themselves.

    Agnostics on atheism: On the other end of the spectrum, unlike atheists, an agnostic uses a more scientific approach to their belief system. An agnostic knows that just because there is no physical proof of the existence of a higher being, it dose not automatically mean that one does not exist. An agnostic views an atheist on the same plane as a religious zealot; often because the belief that human beings are the pinnacle of intelligence and there are few things that we do not or have the potential to understand.

    The realization of knowing that “we cannot know everything” is the backbone of the agnostic belief.

    So . . . that means that your attempt at understanding God, is merely your own invented religion, yes?

    Well, I don't see why you shouldn't give it a try. It can't be any sillier than any of the other ones.

    i got a question for the people who believe in "theory of evolution" I understand that humans evolved an all that and the big bang theory stuff (which sounds bogus to me). Referring again to the big bang theory, everything started as one huge rock in space right and grew bigger and bigger then bang! But how did that get there in the first place and Where did space come from???? How big is it?

    Nobody knows. But just because it cant be answered doesnt mean that some being "god" created it

    Of course Agnosticism is a belief system, as is atheism along with every other "ism" out there..... But I did not invent it.
