The "Watchmaker God"?

But the phrase "agnosticism" was coined to reflect the Greek: The prefix "a-" (not) with "gnosis" (knowledge). An agnostic believes that there is not enough knowledge or information to make an informed decision on the question of God's existence (any God).

A deist posits that there is a God - though obviously not One that is acceptable to many other belief systems. Thus the deist is not an agnostic.
