So who do you think is more scientific in their thinking, the atheist or the agnostic? It's the agnostic, clearly.

Ok, I will somewhat concede the point. But are you also agnostic about astrology, or any other metaphysical set of beliefs? From a scientific perspective, I assume things don't exist if there is no evidence suggesting they do. Occams razor. I would reserve agnostic to describe my views on anything where the evidence in favor counterbalances the evidence against. When there is no evidence in favor, and plenty of evidence against, from a scientific perspective, one must chose sides. Science is about the mean & deviation of evidence, it is NOT about logical truth or falseness. Many people don't understand that difference.
