Stan,

My point was that Agnostics ( 'the impossible to know' group) fall on both sides of the argument whether there is a God.

It is probably determined by their world view. Some see the World as full of misery and evil and fall on the side of No God but have to admit it's unprovable. And others are shaped by the view that this world of ours is a unique special coherent whole, like a Hamlet or a Beethoven String quartet but still refuse to believe.

I am often puzzled by this last group - the logical inconsistency of accepting the possibility of a Hamlet without a Shakespeare or the string Quartet without a Beethoven!
