Then to answer your question he explained that there were two denominations of agnostics:-
1. The agnostic who didn't believe there was a God but didn't dismiss the fact that God could possibly be discovered.
2. The agnostic who also who didn't believe there was a God but insists that Almighty God will never ever be found by anyone.
