One who is not sure about God’s existence

Options:

Agnostic

Anchor

Pantheist

Haggard

Correct Answer:

Agnostic

Explanation:
 

The option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the phrase "one who is not sure about God's existence" is agnostic.

  • Anchor is a heavy object that is used to keep a ship from drifting. It does not have the same meaning as "one who is not sure about God's existence."
  • Pantheist is a person who believes that everything in the universe is part of God. It does not have the same meaning as "one who is not sure about God's existence."
  • Haggard means looking tired and worn out. It does not have the same meaning as "one who is not sure about God's existence."

Agnostic comes from the Greek words "a" (without) and "gnosis" (knowledge). It means "without knowledge" or "unknowing." An agnostic is someone who does not know whether or not God exists, and they do not believe that it is possible to know for sure.
