: The first question is meaningful, because if someone thinks that evolution '''''must''''' have occurred then he is closed-minded to what the evidence may show to the contrary. That question does address the degree of openmindedness. The second question doesn't seem to disclose any information: lots of closedminded and openminded people would answer "yes", and the question does not distinguish between the two mindsets.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:12, 5 September 2011 (EDT)

:: Even if there is strong evidence to support [[Creation]], you can never be 100% sure and I believe it is a sign of open-mindedness to acknowledge the fact that there may be another answer, unlikely as this may be. --[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 17:17, 5 September 2011 (EDT)
