(sorry for the blank post. I have no idea how that happened. Could it be removed please)

I think what Don(Wyziwyg) is describing is not "his own philosophically unchallengeable postulation" but the general idea of Agnosticism a term forst coined by Thomas Henry Huxley. Many people who are not athetists or theists are agnostics. It is basically saying there is no proof tangible proof there is a God than it is that there is tangible proof for a God. It does not necessarily mean you have no belief but that you have an open mind to the idea until proof shows itself.

I myself am intellectually skepitical about the existence of God BUT also emotionally spiritual so agnosticism helps me allow for the possibility of a God without me being atheistic. Do you get my meaning?

It could well be that there is/is not physical proof of the 37 Brown·Sugar·Rattlesnake·Gila·Monsters who live in Soudley Ponds in the Forest of Dean, and so that can be tested, but if that is not the case agnosticism can be invoked for many things. I thought Don(Wyziwyg)'s explanation was acceptable as a skeptic.
