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 of 20/11/2011

Verse:
〖诗曰〗车马到临，旌旗隐隐月分明，招安讨叛，光大前程
Explanation:
〖签释〗一场紧锣密鼓的人事斗争，在暗地里展开。不少人态度暖昧，闪烁烁，使你难分清谁是敌人谁是朋友?怪不得旗帜不鲜明，一开始你自己也受到蒙蔽，对周围的局势，没有一个正确的认识，直到一个女贵人(月，太阴星)乘车而来，事情才有了眉目和头绪，一切才得以真相大白，你也恍然大悟。这位女贵人的职业是律师，教员或司法官员。并不需要你刻意寻找，她会适时地来到你身边，指导你用拉一派打一派的权术，去驾驭整人局面。事情朝着大吉的方向发展，你不要慌张，乱了阵脚。

Verse:
〖卦语〗：江海悠悠 烟波下钩 六鳌连获 歌笑中流
Explanation:
〖释义〗：成就这桩事情最重要的因素是水。水在五行中的关系是这样：水由金生，水能旺木，生木，却被土所克制。水所对应的方位是北方，旺地冬季，衰于辰髦焐戌月(即农历三月和九月。在周易里所对应的卦名叫坎，坎卦北方之神又叫玄武。 你在北排好这桩事业，将在冬季里获得一连串的收获，令你异常高兴，欢歌笑语，神气悠然。 在整个事业里，属猪和羊的朋友，将会给你决定性的帮助。而生肖为蛇的人，你却应当加以提防，不要让其过多介入，误了大事。 同时你也要提防心脏方面的疾病，并且防范失盗的可能损失。
