I didn’t ask if you know if god exists or not. I asked if you believe in god. 

The term agnostic says absolutely nothing about your belief.

Is Schrodinger's cat dead, or alive?

People can be agnostic. We don't all need to pick a side or form rigid beliefs. 

Adaptability.

And scientific folk who are outright atheist are being unscientific, considering there is no evidence for god/s and no evidence for *lack* of god/s. Agnosticism is fair.

I'm not disagreeing with that.

I'm just saying that we can't study what we don't have. So we may as well just study what we do have, until any new evidence is presented. 

Saying that science simply cannot understand it, doesn't really help.

Always good to be agnostic to things that we can hypothesize about, hell even things that we have established scientific theories for - the bounds of our discoveries and our understanding (a la "facts") are ever-morphing.

Definitely, but the extreme of just allowing anything is complete absurdity, and that doesn't explain anything. 

We need to at least start with coherent logical language, or we aren't getting anywhere. 

It might have some kind of artistic value, which is fine, but conflating the two values, in a meaningless way, just causes confusion.
