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 23/8/2017

〖诗曰〗：蓦地狂风起，大树尽掀扬，根叶未凋零，培植终无恙。
〖签释〗：这场风景，委实来的猛烈，狂暴，竟将大树连根拨起，吹离了原地。这打击和挫折，对于等闲辈可说是致命扔伤害，但久经风霜的大树，却有着顽强的意志和生命力，根和枝叶还勃发着不屈的生机，你看它们并没有凋零，萎顿，重新将大树杆，植根培土，浇水剪枝，精心呵护，终可长成参天大树。大掀扬，大难不死，重遇贵人，实为有福。树拨掀场，本主主人大凶，然而此签凶中转吉，并无大碍。你在营运中的过程中，要随时将自己的处境，综合的信息和种微小的变故，向上司或顾问作业，详尽的汇报以求得正确的指导。你的名誉虽然受到一定程度的伤害，也会引起不知内情的人产生误会，但你不要去迁就暂时的舆论压力，不要介意别人的偏见，让时间去更正历史的误会。
