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.

Sign a name 15/7/2017

〖诗曰〗：湖海悠悠，孤舟浪头；来人末渡，残照山楼。
〖签释〗：个性使然，你干什么事情都爱孤军奋战，独来独往，虽然常常以获此小胜，却要比别人花费更多的精力和时间，而且残局还要靠别人来为你收拾。 这一次又是如此。你驾着一叶扁舟，航天茫茫无际的大海中独行，风云骤起，波涌浪翻。四顾茫茫，多么需要有人来给你援手，否则小小船有倾覆的危险，葬身鱼腹也未可知。 可喜的是，偏偏你有一个遇贵人搭救于危厄的命造，这回又应验了。将有三位以上的贵人，给你帮助。引你走出苦海的是每三个，"来人末渡"。人不但引领佻走出浪谷波峰，还使你能获得小小的利益。 这个关键人物对你当然很重要喽，他的名姓中，有不少水的成份，偏旁部首中有三点水，请多加留意。
