Atheism: How Certain is Certain? (Agnosticism)

"George is absolutely correct." That's most gratifying to hear! - "Also if one does not have a science background, those authors who describe science with an agenda, literally falsifing known material /// must be understood and avoided." I also like that. - However, where David Turell puts in the name of "such as Kenneth Miller" I would put in "such as creationists" and others associated with the Discovery Institute or the Templeton Foundation. I'm sure David realises that everyone has an agenda. The reason I feel I can trust Kenneth Miller is that his agenda, being a theist, is contrary to my own, being a convinced atheist. Of course to arrive at the truth one has to read all the sources and make one's own judgment, and that's not easy. - There is a quote from Richard Feynman on this that I like: "Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."
