There is nothing wrong with being agnostic in cases where we lack evidence one way or the other. It is the reasonable position.
Carl Sagan was proud to be agnostic when asked whether there was life elsewhere in the universe. When he refused to commit himself, his interlocutor pressed him for a 'gut feeling' and he immortally replied: "But I try not to think with my gut, really, it's okay to
reserve judgment until the evidence is in".
