And sorry Cheese you can't claim to know I'm definetly a Agnostic. Even from your link:

Quote:
In the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify knowledge of whether God exists or does not.
I don't believe that, I believe that there could be an answer out there that we may find one day. I'm not saying it will never happen.

However in saying that I might be closer to a agnostic atheist:

Quote:
Within agnosticism there are agnostic atheists (who do not believe any deity exists, but do not deny it as a possibility) and agnostic theists (who believe a God exists but do not claim to know that).
But in reality it is nothing more than a title, whether I call myself an atheist, agnostic or theist I still don't have the answers to make myself happy with calling myself one thing or another as I feel that my feelings could change at any time depending on the evidence shown to me personally, not what I read in some book.

This does make me wonder why it is so important to put a title to anything though.
