-'''Thomas Henry Huxley''' (1825–1895) was an English writer who earned himself the nickname "Darwin's Bulldog" as a result of his vigorous support of the [[Theory of Evolution]]. Perhaps the most famous example of this was the debate in 1860 between Huxley and the conservative Bishop of Oxford (in the [[Anglican Church]]), [[Samuel Wilberforce]]. During the course of the debate, Wilberforce sarcastically asked Huxley if he claimed descent from [[ape]]s on his mother's or his father's side. Huxley replied that he would rather be descended from an ape than a wealthy bishop who misused his gifts. Although this exchange has passed into the popular imagination as a trouncing of the creationist position, the truth is less clear. Both sides claimed victory following the debate, and Huxley himself had doubts about the mechanism of [[natural selection]], although he championed [[Darwin]] tirelessly. Many of the more liberal members of the clergy disliked the hardline Wilberforce and supported Huxley.

-In 1869, Huxley coined the term "[[agnostic]]" (from the [[Greek]] ''agnostos'' or unknowable) as a description of the doctrine that mankind cannot know of the existence of anything outside its own experience.  The term would come to mean those who are uncertain if there is a [[God]].
