o general understandings of an agnostic. Either we can't know, because its unfalsifiable (due to epistemic limitations), or the evidence is exactly equal given to neith
This isn't really agnosticism. You've mashed up several things so its more of a mess. The divine universal energy denotes pantheism, or panentheism. The probably denotes a level of certainty below that of knowledge, but it seems a stance has been taken. Generally an agnostic would not hold a position like that.

What this would be closer to is a theist, likely a pantheist, that believes their version of god to be unfalsifiable. Yes, this is an aspect of one kind of agnosticism. That we can't ever know. But its too confused to be labeled an just an agnostic.

Given the two general understandings of an agnostic. Either we can't know, because its unfalsifiable (due to epistemic limitations), or the evidence is exactly equal given to neither affirming nor denying the proposition.

A better phrased position would be," a divine universal energy is possible and coherent, but I don't have enough evidence to make a conclusion"

This is sort of a bastardization Spinoza's conception of a god.
I bet I know who the other Hildy Mensa atheist is.

I think it's more likely we live in a simulation than any Abrahamic religion being true, but I also couldn't care less what people believe.

infinite regress is only an issue if the series goes from open to closed. for example in the sniper paradox. In that thought experiment a sniper needs approval from his supervisor to take the shot. But there is an infinite series of approvals needed. In which case the shot never occurs. But that isn't analogous.

This is more analogous to an open to closed series. Here the example is that some celestial being comes to you and says, -5, -4, -3,-2,-1 0. He then remarks that he has been counting since negative infinity and finally reached zero. It seems counterintuitive, but there isn't a clear contradiction such as in the other case.


nice considering the series as a scalar and not a vector, stupid.

I'm certain no one will read it, but in case you think i'm just making shit up

You're a real dumb-dumb.
