No . You cannot challange everybody just because you want answers, that smacks of arrogance. You may ask but you cannot demand or force an answer..

Some of the best questions get less than 10 answers and the antagonizing ones get 50+.
I'm proof hit on me and you see the two questions with 3 and 8 answers, I thought were intellectual giant questions, but ask does god like gay sex, and its like pavlov's dog, 29 people come running to tell their opinion.
Evolution is the same way put Evolution in the title of a question suddenly everyones a scientist and wants to spout their opinion.

In the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, Chapter 4, verse 34, God explains:
"Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth".
My teacher, Srila Prabhupada explains this verse:
The path of spiritual realization is undoubtedly difficult. The Lord therefore advises us to approach a bona fide spiritual master in the line of disciplic succession from the Lord Himself. No one can be a bona-fide spiritual master without following this principal of disciplic succession. The Lord is the original spiritual master, and a person in the disciplic succession can convey the message of the Lord as it is to his disciple. No one can be spiritually realized by manufacturing his own process, as is the fashion of the foolish pretenders. The Srimad Bhagavatam (6.3.19) says, The path of religion is directly enunciated by the Lord. Therefore, mental speculation or dry arguments cannot help lead one to the right path. Nor by independant study of books of knowledge can one progress in spiritual life. One has to approach the bona fide spiritual master to receive the knowledge.
In this verse, both blind following and absurd inquiries are condemned. Not only should one hear submissively from the spiritual master, but one must also get a clear understanding from him, in submission and service and inquiries. A bona-fide spiritual master is by nature very kind toward the disciple. Therefore, when the student is submissive, and is always ready to render service, the reciprocation of knowledge and inquiries becomes perfect.
In the following verse, God says:
"Having obtained real knowledge from a self-realized soul, you will never again fall into such illusion, for by this knowledge you will see that all living beings are but part of the Supreme, or, in other words, that they are Mine.

Of course not! Do some research on whatever your question is and than from there challenge yourself and explore your options and see where it goes. But to challenge someone usually won't get you too far. Goof luck.

Not really. SOmetimes people respond to unique questions. Others to easy questions, still others to difficult questions. I had 28 responses to "Can you prove Johnny Depp is not made of cheese?" I don't think it was the intelligence level that caused people to respond. More to do with fans of Depp (or cheese?)
