Here I disagree very much. With all my respect I think you are probably
confusing agnosticism with atheism:
- the lack of belief in God is agnosticism (if g = "God exists", and B
is belief, it corresponds to ~Bg. This is compatible with the lack of
belief in the non existence of Gods: ~B~g)
-atheist are believer: they believes that God does not exist. This is
B~g, and this is inconsistent with ~B~g.
Science should be agnostic, at least methodologically, even with g =
"there is a universe or there is an observer moment". Comp science is
provably agnostic: Dt -> ~BDt.
