Thomas Henry Huxley

    May 4, 1825 – June 29, 1895

    Thomas Henry Huxley was a pioneering English biologist and physician, famously coining the term "agnostic." He defined agnosticism as a rigorous method of inquiry, emphasizing that one should follow reason as far as it leads and should not assert conclusions that are not demonstrated or demonstrable. Huxley became a staunch defender of scientific thought, often engaging in debates to champion reason over dogma. His intellectual contributions significantly shaped the discourse between science and religion in his era.
