Most scientists you're going to come across are going to vehemently disagree with the idea that in a science class, people should make up their own minds. It's not Philosophy. It's Science. It's about empirical investigation using methods of systematic inquiry, scrutiny, and rigor. It's not about, for example, making up your mind if the atom is made up of protons and neutrons.
You may come up with an idea and decide you want to test its empirical validity, but the answer isn't about making up your mind based on whether or not you like the outcome.
