What does the world look like if you could see into the ultraviolet range? It is impossible to know. We can hint at it and guess at it by mapping things to the visible spectrum, but it's something we flat-out can't see.
Agnosticism is similar. It's saying that knowledge of the existence of God is like seeing the world in ultraviolet. It's impossible for us. Any of us.
