Thanks much Mark for this. I appreciate the realism (and humility) in this comment. In reality, we are agnostics because as you suggest anyone who suggests they know with absolute certainty is probably wrong. You say you rejected Christianity. I certainly understand that and I have spent most of my 73 years deeply questioning it. I am an agnostic in your definition because I am not certain of anything, yet I believe. I believe I may be wrong, would not surprise me, but I do believe in creation, in sin and evil, and in an ultimate restoration. I believe I believe because it makes the most rational sense, but that belief also provides much more than a conviction about truth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
