I'm exactly the same as you, except I can see no reason to discount either a god or a natural solution at the moment. Existence requires an explanation, which we have no answer for at the moment, and I'm sceptical that science will provide the evidence to account for existence, on that basis I don't discount a god.
[quote]A lack of belief, or disbelief are just interchangeable to me, it's pure semantics rather than a difference in perspective. So it's not something I would commit to, particularly given my scepticism to suitable evidence being obtained.

You miss the point if you think I'm sceptical of logical explanations. If you think I believe, that's your call I'm not bothered.

As everyone is supposedly agnostic, stating someone is agnostic would be redundant, unless of course you're trying to distance yourself from atheism for whatever reason.![Thinking Thinking](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/thinking.gif)
