When you ask a question on Y!A do you research the answers you receive, even if they are contrary to your beliefs or knowledge? I sometimes wonder if the investment of time that many of our talented members have placed into their answers is often wasted.

If I am giving my opinion, I do not research.
If I absolutely know the answer I do not research.
If I am unsure or do not know, I either research or do not answer.

Sometimes I go by the majority....how many people had the same answer. If there's not an overwhelming majority of one answer, I then go and look up the question on google or whatever. But asking it here first is fun and is a hobby. I also go by the person's specialty. A lot of drs and nurses, lawyer, accountants, etc. are on here and if they let you know that as their source, then I'm more apt to believe their answer. I also look at their other answers and see if they are a serious person who tries to give the best answer or someone who just gives smart alec answers.

I don't usually research the answers that I receive because I don't ask very difficult questions. But I do research some of the answers that I give.

I haven't asked many questions, but I do have an open mind and do take to heart any serious answers. Especially the ones that have good references and scriptural backing.
I just hope others do the same, because most of my answers are well researched.

Personally, if the answer is cogent and well thought out....then yes I will take further steps, however if all I get is biblical quotes or the old "Jesus is Truth" kind of cop-outs, then no. I can agree or disagree with any answer, but the ones I most enjoy are those which make me think, usually if it presents something I haven't thought of before.

I never waste time and effort researching creationist answers and most of the questions I've asked have been about evolution.

That depends on what question was asked and what answer was given.
