agnosticism
Significado: The view that the existence of God or the divine is unknown or unknowable, and that it is impossible to determine whether or not a higher power exists.
Agnosticism occupies a middle ground between theism and atheism. It was popularised by the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley, who coined the term in 1869. Agnosticism can be combined with theism (believing in God whilst acknowledging uncertainty) or atheism (not believing in God whilst acknowledging uncertainty). In everyday speech, 'agnostic' is also used loosely to mean undecided or non-committal about any topic.
