短释义：
In 1869, English biologist T.H. Huxley coined this noun referring to someone whose religious beliefs lie somewhere in between those of a theist and an atheist — that is, a believer and a disbeliever. Huxley combined the Greek prefix a-, meaning “not,” with gnostos, “known.” This word can be used as a noun or adjective, and it can also refer to uncertainty about questions other than the existence of God: “Some philosophers remain agnostic as to whether people have free will.”
如果有人认为他们不知道上帝是否存在，那个人是不可知论的。您的祖母可能是虔诚的信徒，而您的妈妈不知所措。

1869年，英国生物学家Thhuxley创造了这个名词，指的是某人的宗教信仰位于有神论者和无神论者（即信徒和不信任者）之间。赫x黎将希腊前缀A-合并为“不”，gnostos，“已知”。这个词可以用作名词或形容词，也可以指关于上帝存在以外的问题的不确定性：“一些哲学家对人们是否有自由意志仍然不可知。”

词源：
agnostic(n.)1870, “one who professes that the existence of a First Cause and the essential nature of things are not and cannot be known” [Klein]; coined by T.H. Huxley, supposedly in September 1869, from Greek agnostos “unknown, unknowable,” from a- “not” (see a- (3)) + gnōstos “(to be) known” (from PIE root *gno- “to know”). The coinage is sometimes said to be a reference to Paul’s mention of the altar to “the Unknown God” in Acts, but according to Huxley it was a reference to the early Church movement known as Gnosticism (see Gnostic). The adjective also is from 1870.
I … invented what I conceived to be the appropriate title of ‘agnostic,’ … antithetic to the ‘Gnostic’ of Church history who professed to know so much about the very things of which I was ignorant. [T.H. Huxley, “Science and Christian Tradition,” 1889]
The agnostic does not simply say, “I do not know.” He goes another step, and he says, with great emphasis, that you do not know. [Robert G. Ingersoll, “Reply to Dr. Lyman Abbott,” 1890]
also from 1870
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
不可知论（n。）1870年，“一个自称是第一个原因和事物的基本本质的存在，也不是不知所措” [klein]；据说是由Th Huxley（据说是1869年9月）创造的，是由希腊Agnostos“未知，不知名的”，来自a-“不是”（请参阅a-（3）） +gnōstos“（要）已知”（来自PIE ROOT *gno gno-“ to News”）。造币有时被认为是对保罗在使徒行传中提到“未知神”的提及，但根据赫uxley，这是指被称为诺斯替教的早期教会运动（见诺斯替教）。形容词也是从1870年开始的。我发明了我想象的是“不可知论者”的适当标题，与教会历史的“诺斯替”相反，他们自称对我无知的事物了解了很多。 [Thhuxley，“科学与基督教传统”，1889年]不可知论者不仅说：“我不知道。”他迈出了又一步，他非常强调您不知道。 [Robert G. Ingersoll，“回复莱曼·雅培博士”，1890年]也从1870年开始
