Mignat has evidently concluded his survey, and someone has kindly forwarded the results:

Thank you all for your answers, which I am happy to assume are honest. My findings are that one group consistently:
showed more intolerance, wanted to prejudice children in their favour, said that science uses tests when considering a theory but all failed to mention any tests that found in their favour, exaggerated data to suit, believed their own exaggerations, had a feeling superiority without saying why they were superior and couldn't see that both sides shared acceptance of microevolution. All but one failed to spot contradictory statements or denied the facts (Q16).
Almost all took a shot at the other side
The other group agreed with an even-sided teaching in schools, showed complete tolerance, half of them gave scientific data to support themselves and noticed the contradiction.
For the first group to criticse the other of being intolerant, ignorant or unscientific(the most common criticisms) is certainly unjustified and unjustifiable. Sadly, it's that group that does by far the most criticising.
It's the evolutionists.
Obviously not only are my suspicions confirmed that Mignat did not possess the necessary expertise to construct, conduct, analyze, and present results for a survey, he seems to have begun his efforts with some preformed opinions.
I'll leave the thread open for discussion and comments, but no more surveys will be coordinated from this thread.
