I have often thought that agnostics were just those that believe in God but think he is completely uninterested or not at all involved with us as humans on a personal level.  Sort of like he created everything and is now letting humanity deal with it's own vices.  It can often feel that way so I understand the agnostic point of view to a certain degree.  However, I have personally come to believe that God is as involved in our lives as we will allow him, or ask Him to be. 

Agnosticism is not really that. Simply put it is someone who doesn't know, or believes they cannot know wether there is a god or not. I don't see how somebody can believe they were created by a intelligent being, but not be sure wether there is an intelligent being or not.

Perhaps because he has no way of proving God one way or another?  One of David Berlinski's quotes that is circulating is:
Quote
“I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false.”

But he believes he was intelligently designed, so how can he be agnostic?

And you can't really disprove that something doesn't exist. Can the scientific community disprove a baboon god that I have just made up doesn't exist? No. God (and my baboon god along with all the other ones we made up) do a pretty good job of proving they don't exist all by themselves by not existing.
