"Clarify for me what an agnostic is."

An agnostic is a person who understands the fact that, logically speaking, one cannot 'prove a negative'. Therefore, I cannot prove that God doesn't exist. So, although it seems unlikely to me, there remains a possibility that God does exist. All I would need in order to BELIEVE is some proof.

By the way, a few stories and statements in an ancient text of dubious provenance does not constitute any sort of proof that a scientist (or, I suspect, a lawyer) would recognise.
