::::Then what about this: If there was an absolute proof that either [[evolution]] or [[creation]] is true, would you change your mind ?--[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 17:42, 5 September 2011 (EDT)

:::::I would suggest altering that to say "Is it impossible for there to be absolute proof of evolution, and is it impossible for there to be absolute proof of creation?" (With 1 yes and 1 no counting as yes for the essay)That way people can't go 'sure, I'd believe evolution if there was absolute proof. But it isn't so there can't be absolute proof' - [[User:JamesCA|JamesCA]] 19:09, 5 September 2011 (EDT)

== Equivelent ==
Many of the questions in the test can be rewritten in an reversed form. I am intersted to hear peoples views on whether they belive these opposite questions could be substituted for the current ones without affecting the validity of the test. If you feel that these reversed question would invalidate the test then how can they be valid in their current form either? If you don't think it would invalidate the test then why not make the test a mixture of conservative and liberal slanted questions?
Two examples
: 1. Do you resist admitting the possibility that a liberal approach to education is far more effective for students than a conservative one?
:12. Do you think that creation by an intelligent designer ''must'' have occurred?
