Science and rational thought have gone a long way to explain the nature of reality but we will always be bound by the laws of our universe, to say that there is no chance that there is something beyond that is a bit ignorant

exactly. which is why faith transcends the requirements of proof. Empiricism, by it's very nature has to operate within the boundaries of the universe. Or to re-word it, within the boundaries of that which has been created. Agnostics are therefore bound by the same limitations. People who employ faith (those that both believe in God, and believe that there is no God) suspend the requirement of proof. Those who do not employ faith wait. Until such a point as they obtain proof, they remain 'not knowing' (agnostic).
