T H Huxley was the nineteenth century's best-known and most effective 
advocate of Darwinism. 
http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/2506/ In this 
article, entitled "Thomas Henry Huxley: a better bulldog", an 
agnostic ex-vicar critically compares the implicit atheism of Richard 
Dawkins' latest book, "The God Delusion", with the carefully defined 
boundaries of Huxley's agnosticism.

It seems that a key issue, in this ASTC-L discussion and in the 
Darwin-wars outside, is the failure of science communicators to agree 
whether science is atheistic or agnostic. Though some of us may find 
it tedious to consider the distinction, by 'agreeing to disagree' we 
will continue to confuse and alienate a huge percentage of our target audience.
