[VoteCalledFor] [VectorHermit]
----
Due to the ["great creation debate" in "Evolution as a secular religion"|http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=28642;start=15] and the disagreement over the meaning of the word, this provisional entry has been established to support a proposed Virian Poll.

-Initial revisions of this page did not follow the correct establishment process as provided for under [VirianVoting]. The polls should not have been established prior to this page being approved, and this page should have included the wording below.
*Category: Poll
*Title: On Creation - for North Americans
*Question: What do you understand by "create". As it is hypothesized that the meaning may be different in different parts of the world, we have established two votes for this poll to determine if this is a factor. Refer http://virus.lucifer.com/wiki/create

*Closes: Indefinite. Anytime after 60% or greater of equity polled.
*Application: The vote results will determine the primary meaning of "Create|Creation" in the Virian lexicon. If the majority of equity finds the uses without intent unacceptable, the definition will reflect that restriction, otherwise it will not. If the majority of equity accepts an obviously incorrect option, the vote will be null and void.
*Restricted: Unrestricted. All Virians.

+Why the reluctance to establish two versions and establish whether there are regional differences? I agree that even if there are regional differences, that we do not need to establish two definitions when creating a lexicon entry.
+
+Are there reasons for not asking the questions about intent and creation directly?
+
+I would answer the above as you have proposed as follows:
+
+1 True (Intent is asserted. But known to be counter to the position held by most Virians).
+2 False (Intent is not present. But that the Universe was instantiated by the Big Bang is in accord with the opinions of most Virians).
+3 ?
+4 False (Intent was not asserted).
+5 False (Intent was not asserted).
+6 True (Intent is presumed).
+7 ?
+
+I am not sure what Options 3 and 7 mean.
+
+I suggest that questions 1 and 2 will create a bias in the response, as my opinion of 'correct' usage is directly contradicted by the sense of the statements. In other words, were the question not about the nature of "create" my answer to Options 1 and 2 would be the exact opposite (although I wouldn't use "created" in 2).
+
+What is an "obviously incorrect option"?
