Agnosticity

Agnosticity in a technology context indicates a desired goal to avoid being trapped in silos controlled by Big Tech companies that dominate specific markets with proprietary hardware and/or operating systems, thus enabling the extraction of rents from services provided within those walled gardens.
For biometric authentication to operate outside of the control of Apple and Google, processing ecosystems must maintain device agnosticity to promote cloud-based solutions which are not dependent upon hardware elements.

Agnosticism

Not knowing or admittedly not being capable of proving or disproving the existence of a superior being or beings.

Either used to show a person as "sitting on the fence" or somebody who is certain that the existence of a supernatural being can't be proven or disproven.

Agnosticism is merely the "ism" for "Agnostic".
Agnostic: In THIS universe everything appears to have a cause. What if something outside of this universe, where the same boundaries don't apply, happened to have an input to the development of ours, perhaps even being as minute as starting a large explosion? Could we call this influence "God" or could we call it Science? Can we even prove anything like this happened? It appears my Agnosticism has deleted the boundaries for common religious arguing.

Agnosticism

The only true sign of intelligence you will encounter from another human being.

A theist, or believer in God, will tell you that he ABSOLUTELY exists. An atheist (non-believer) will say he ABSOLUTELY doesn't.

Well, the last time I checked, it's been like 2000 years since God was reported to have talked to anybody, making it pretty difficult to prove. Besides which, all religion is predicated on faith (See also: Not supposed to be proven).

Prove he doesn't exist? Possibly the only thing harder to do. Besides the enormity of the task, there's the fact that anyone who ever took a logic class knows and that is that you can't prove a negative. You can only prove (sometimes) that something hasn't happened YET. It may still the next time.

So... you have a theist, an atheist and an agnostic... None of them really knows the truth about the nature of existence.

But only the agnostic is smart enough to admit it.
Agnosticism says: I don't know if there's a God or not... and neither do you.

Sleep tight.

agnosticism

belief that one is unable to tell if god exists or does not exist. the refusal to decide while one is still living. not to be confused with atheism.
I don't know if god exists, and I can't know until I'm dead so don't bother me about it now.
