Sorry to have to correct you again, but it certainly meant something to
Charles Darwin:
[...] In 1879 a letter came asking if he believed in God, and if theism
and evolution were compatible. He replied that a man "can be an ardent
Theist and an evolutionist", citing Charles Kingsley and Asa Gray as
examples, and for himself, he had "never been an Atheist in the sense
of denying the existence of a God". He added that "I think that
generally (and more and more as I grow older), but not always, that an
Agnostic would be a more correct description of my state of mind."
[...]
