FYI for those that did not ask to participate in the survey.
From the message that was sent.
OLT stands for Origin of Life Viewpoint. This is to ensure that nobody feels the other side is being given preference
OLH stands for Origin of Life viewpoint Holder
I assume that OLT was meant to be OLV. That there was a typo in the first sentence did nothing to make me feel confidence in this "survey".
Question 16 made me decide not to participate in the "survey"
16 Assuming that it has been proven that it takes millions of years to make a fossil, is it possible for the the reported age of
Neanderthal fossils to be tens of thousands of years?
This question shows an agenda, but more so it shows a lack of knowledge of the subject matter.
I don't know what mignat's agenda is but I will not be playing. Since there is this blatant ignorance in basic concepts I have no confidence in the validity of this "survey" or any results that may be presented.
The full survey.
OLT stands for Origin of Life Viewpoint. This is to ensure that nobody feels the other side is being given preference
OLH stands for Origin of Life viewpoint Holder
Let's do it:
1 Which is your OLV?
2 Should schools teach your OLV only?
3 Do variations in colour, size or shape prove your OLV?
4 Have you ever exaggerated a truth into an extreme in order to silence an opposing OLH?
5 What is the scientific method?
6 Do opposing OLHs make you lose control?
7 Would you expect an apology to be given to a hurt OLH?
8 Do you research your answers to an opposing OLH's questions before giving them?
9 Does your OLV put you above opposing OLHs in any way?
10 Would a cruel answer to an OLH be acceptable to you?
11 Would a rude answer by an OLH be acceptable to you?
12 Is it unreasonable that anyone should oppose your OLV?
13 Are you any less respectful towards opposing OLHs than your fellow OLHs when correcting a mistake?
14 Would you expect an apology if an an opposing OLH found they had hurt you?
15 Do you expect opposing OLHs behave to a higher standard in their postings than your fellow OLHs?
16 Assuming that it has been proven that it takes millions of years to make a fossil, is it possible for the the reported age of
Neanderthal fossils to be tens of thousands of years?
17 Would it concern you at all if you knew you had upset somebody deeply?
18 How would you expect an opposing OLH to prove their OLV?
19 Would you want an apology if somebody hurt you in a posting?
20 Is it the opposing OLHs responsibility to prove themselves right and also to prove you wrong?
21What is you favourite proof of your OLV?
22 Could you see yourself accepting any shared ground with the opposing OLHs, should shared ground be discovered?
23 What would you change if this survey showed the criticism towards your fellow OLHs to be justified and unjustified towards the opposing OLHs?
24 Do you hope this survey will persuade the opposing OLHs that your OLV is the right one?
Which one of these things doesn't go with the other? 16 is a complete departure from the rest of the questions. Makes me leery and suspicious of motives.
