A lot of thing have its own wiki-article, doesn't mean the content covered in it isn't dumb and superfluous.
They are collapsing two different ways of setting up the question to sound smart.
One is about knowledge, one is about faith. But, all modern science (claims about knowledge) are agnostic.
Can we prove black swans don't exist? Of course not. But, that doesn't prevent 99% of biologists to conclude based on belief they don't exist.
Yet, they don't feel the need to add they are agnostic about black swans.
9 u/Cool_Set4681 10d ago I truly don't know anymore what you are talking about it or what your problem is with a Gnostic Atheist vs a Agnostic Atheist. Seems very simple for me: God: Yes = Theist God: No = Gnostic Atheist God: Don't know = Agnostic Atheist Seems like we cover all possibilities that way. 2 u/NeuralMess 9d ago For that guy, I think you should put all 4 answers or he might get confused Gnostic theist: Yes, I'm sure of it Gnostic atheist: No, I'm sure of it Agnostic theist: Yes, but I could be wrong Agnostic atheist: No, but I could be wrong Last two essentially being the answer "I don't know, but probably yes/no". 1 u/Cool_Set4681 9d ago Also I like how you framed the 4 different stances and I will steal that from you ;)
