Inhaltsangabe oder Einleitung
A neutral question is an open question that is not influenced by personal belief, opinion or judgement and therefore does not suggest an answer when being asked.
It may seem that there are truly neutral questions. After all, in the natural sciences there seems to be no personal bias. When we ask what the result of 4x4 is, we would expect the answer to be universal and it would neither matter what the questioner’s emotions are, nor would it even require empirical verification, as we are able to simply work out the result using the rules of natural sciences. Therefore it would seem that initially, neutral questions do exist. On the other hand, it appears that in areas such as religion, there can never be a neutral question because we willingly accept that it is a personal belief influenced by personal bias and emotion. So it seems that, in religion, neutral questions do not exist. However, when we examine this more closely, neutrality may neither be as evident in the sciences as expected, nor is it so far missing, that a rational debate cannot take place in religion.
