Matt My highest value is placed upon epistemology: How we know what we know. -My personal agnosticism extends past Huxley's original coinage of the word. 
Pretty much to everyday things ... not just the Big Questions.-
I think when we have this kind of discussion we are very much stuck in the psychological ... ie the perception of our perceptions. I can't help thinking a little bit of reductionism won't go amiss here. I don't think it will give the "Big Answers" but it might give some insights rather than squabbling about our perceptions.-
I assume a materialist world, primarily because I have no evidence of a dualistic existence. In this materialist world my thoughts which include any faith, belief or knowledge I may profess, seem to be an arrangement of fundamental particles and fields ... whatever.-So these things ultimately are a pattern that for various reasons are not susceptible to change.-just a starter.
