> it does inform my position against atheism. I consider myself an agnostic.

Surprising for someone with his background to not understand the difference between atheism and agnosticism, and obviously not understanding that these two are not mutually exclusive.

> "I don’t believe even though I have no evidence for or against, simply I don’t believe.”

That's absolutely not what atheism is.

Atheism is a single position on a single claim. The claim is "There is a god", and the position is "I don't accept that claim".

How can this be even remotely against the scientific method? It's not even a claim, let alone a hypothesis.

This person seems to be so confused about basic epistemological definitions.
