註釋
An agnostic does not deny the existence of God and heaven, for example, but rather holds that one cannot know for certain if they exist or not. The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning 「without, not,」 as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, 「knowledge,」 which was used by early Christian writers to mean 「higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things」; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as 「Gnostics」 a group of his fellow intellectuals—「ists,」 as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a 「man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,」 Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.
舉例來說，不可知論者並不否認上帝和天堂的存在，但卻認為無法確切知道他們的存在與否。術語agnostic 這個詞是由19世紀的英國科學家托馬斯·H·赫胥黎巧妙地創造出來的， 他認為只有物質現象才是確切意識的對象。他用意為「沒有，無」的前綴a-， 如在 amoral 中和名詞 Gnostic造詞。 Gnostic與希臘詞 gnosis 有關，指「意識」， 曾被早期的基督教作家用來表達「關於精神玄奧的、神秘的意識」。 因此agnostic 就指那些有這類意識的人。 在創造agnostic 這個詞時，赫胥黎把他的同伴知識分子──「學家」，認為是「可知論者」，就像他這樣稱呼他們一樣── 他們急切地吸收各種信條或理論來隨意地解釋世界。因為赫胥黎「是個沒有任何標籤來掩飾自己的人」， 他為自己創造了agnostic 這個詞，1870年這個詞首次用於出版物中
