“It is often said, mainly by the 'no-contests', that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thoughts it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?”

“I'm comfortable with my position because I see clear evidence that climate change is driven mainly by the sun.”

“Their position seems to be that their God is so great he doesn't even have to exist.”

“The book is true, and if evidence seems to condtradict it, it is the evidence that must be thrown out not the book.”

“There is no trustworthy evidence as to a god's absolute existence.”

“My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it. An agnostic is somebody who doesn’t believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I’m agnostic.”

“Be a positive evidence collector”

“The glory of nature provides evidence that God exists”

“Although inanimate things remain our most tangible evidence that the old human past really existed, the conventional metaphors used to describe this visible past are mainly biological.”

“The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man”
