Thomas Henry Huxley fue un biólogo y médico inglés, conocido por acuñar el término "agnóstico". Definió el agnosticismo como un método riguroso de indagación, enfatizando que uno debe seguir la razón hasta donde lo lleve y no afirmar conclusiones que no estén demostradas o sean demostrables. Huxley se convirtió en un firme defensor del pensamiento científico, participando frecuentemente en debates para defender la razón sobre el dogma. Sus contribuciones intelectuales moldearon significativamente el discurso entre la ciencia y la religión en su época.

What is life? This question gives a new interest to every department of science that relates to life in any form, and the history of life offers a most suggestive field for research. The paleontology took its origin in the mind of the first person who, finding something like a shell or a bone naturally imbedded in gravel or in rock, indulged in speculations upon the nature of this thing which he had dug out-this "fossil"-and upon the causes which had brought it into such a position. In this rudimentary form, a high antiquity may safely be ascribed to paleontology, inasmuch as we know that, five hundred years before the Christian era, the philosophic doctrines of Xenophanes were influenced by his observations upon the fossil remains exposed in the quarries of Syracuse. From this time forth, not only the philosophers, but the poets, the historians, the geographers of antiquity occasionally refer to fossils; and after the revival of learning lively controversies arose respecting their real nature.
