If there were no way to ever prove the result one way or the other, then the question "do you believe that this coin landed heads up?" would be one that I could not prove one way or the other and could only answer on faith alone, if there were nothing to suggest to me that it landed heads up I would answer the question "do you believe that this coin landed heads up?" - no,
but I would also answer the question "do you NOT believe that this coin landed heads up?" - no because there would be nothing to suggest it not land heads up.
do you believe in god? - no
do you not believe in god? - no
are not contradictory, so you can answer "no" to this poll, however Zyr is right and it means that the "no" will also mean "don't know"
