Neither a theist nor an atheist

This is kind of odd coming from a creationist.Creationists are very adept at seeing what they want to see in spite of the facts.

And my point is that their belief alone, whether well supported or unfounded, is enough to disqualify them as agnostic.

This should help you: *Gnosticism has nothing to do with belief, so it is wrong to say "their belief alone" even has anything to do with their agnosticism. It's usually best to stick with common vernacular and usage and since the religious don't like the word agnostic (they associate it with atheism still), that leaves atheists/secular minded folk as the main users of the word and this chart is generally the most common usage of agnosticism.Take note that one cannot simply be agnostic or gnostic since you have to have something to be agnostic about.Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

Would you go so far as to say that there are no gnostic theists? If they plausibly exist, how does their belief differ from mine?

Or not. And unless and until you check it out against the evidence, how can you know which? Which would be great if the world conformed to our ideas of what is "reasonable". If science has taught us one thing, it's that it doesn't. To use your "intuition" to decide what's "reasonable" and then not put it to the test of experience is the quickest and surest way to close your mind.

something is either reasonable or it is not. Our "ideas" have nothing to do with itEdited by granpa, : No reason given.

What do you want "reasonable" to mean? Even if we grant the proposition that "something is either reasonable or it is not", we do have different ideas of what is reasonable. And it is with ideas that intuition supplies us.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

something is reasonable if there is a reason why it could happen

So the statement "Dr A is wearing a green hat", for example, would be reasonable, because there is a reason why it could happen, but false because I am not actually wearing a green hat?Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

as I clearly stated earlier intuition can not tell you whether something is true or not. It can only tell you whether it is a reasonable possibility or notonce you see what he is wearing then you know beyond a reasonable doubt whether its true or notEdited by granpa, : No reason given.Edited by granpa, : No reason given.

I'm not sure how broad you intend this criterion to be. After all, there is a sense in which I might find a doorway to a magic world in the back of my wardrobe: it is a logical possibility.

other universes are a reasonable possibility but magic is certainly not

Why not? After all, magic is just something that would be against the laws of our universe. They might be just as astonished by electricity as we are by their magic lamps and flying carpets.Anyway, this aside, it's still hard to see just what you mean by "reasonable".Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

the possibility that other universes might have different laws from our own is a reasonable possibility. But they must follow some sort of laws of cause and effect and that means it isn't magicEdited by granpa, : No reason given.
