Induction

The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—“ists,” as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

Part 1
Verse:
〖诗曰〗吉吉吉,寻常一样窗前月,凶凶凶,有了梅花便不同,含笑向东风,人情不比旧时分。
Explanation:
〖签释〗这是一条吉凶参半的住处吉和凶在这回合的人与事当中,变化极大,可以说几乎要改变你的命运,使你的人生道路有了一个根本性的转折。对于预测婚姻、子嗣,这条签是特别灵验的。腊尽春寒之时,你结识了一位姓氏中带有草、木笔画的异性,给你平凡的人生中带来了极不安定的因素。危机四伏,令你惶惑不安。你变得不再无忧无虑,日子过得一点也不快乐、潇洒。渐渐地心中有了悔恨之意,但一时又没有什么招数,能够使自己早日解脱出来。“含笑向东风”,便成了这首签诗的要义,不可不明白。巽要八卦中所对应的时序是辰巳月(农历三、四月),对应的天时、生肖和人物分别是风、鸡和媒人。好了,到那时,将有一位女人为你指出一条新的道路,她将指着东南方的一个人,告诉你,你的一生亲不会太惨。
