I believe that anyone who calls themselves a scientist can accept no other label than AGNOSTIC.
evidentialist comments on Dec 18, 2017:
@Mcflewster - I disagree in part. First, any scientist worth his sheepskin has the understanding that precious little is known to the degree to assert it in the absolute. I list myself as an atheist/evidentialist/rationalist, but the 'atheist' part is couched with the restriction that to make the ...

A good structured responsee. Yes of course we can accept a multitude of labels ,put there for different purposes and occasions . I feel the need for one underlying label which in my case is Humanist.
Athest says only ONE thing about a person. other labels are much more nuanced

Most people on this earth want a yes/no answer. Not for them the refinements and associated mathematics of probability. Although I accept that probability IS the way to go I am at present more of a mind to get more religious people on the side of logic and reason through science. Getting someone into agnosticism is for the moment a very
significant step in the journey to logic and reason. So although I greatly respect Richard Feynman and want everyone to join with him in his conclusions I would prefer this method of getting more on the journey.
Also there are some very bolshy scientists about who could do with a bit of humility.
