If it helps, I see creationism as a possibility, but the iron age books seem ridiculous to me. 

 

I also try to operate based on reason and evidence. The greater the claim: the greater the body of evidence required to substantiate it. The claim of 'this is god' would require so much evidence I don't think I could ever believe it.

 

The only conclusion for me is that noone can ever know the nature of god. That is what it means to be agnostic to me: the belief and acceptance that noone will ever know god.

That doesn't exactly help.  The language is kind of fuzzy.  When you're saying things like the nature of god, that leads me to think you are a theist.

Simpler way to do it is this.

1.  Do you believe that there is a god?
2.  Do you know that god exists?

Yes/Yes=  Gnostic Theist   Yes/No= Agnostic Theist  No/Yes= Gnostic Atheist  No/No= Agnostic Atheist.

No I do not believe that there is a God. But I do not believe that God does not exist. I am fully willing to accept that I don't know. Even if someone brought me mountains of proof, there is a good chance I still wouldn't believe them. It's too large a claim.

Simply: some things are beyond human comprehension.
