Yes, but this is a survey about the one's beliefs in a "Necessary Being". By the definition listed, I would be one.
The Surve Wrote:A Necessary Being is anything that meets the following two conditions:

1. It is possible that it is a cause of something.

2. It is not possible (at any time) that it does not exist.

I cause a nail file to get knocked off the table and I am certain I exist; I am a Necessary Being. The ambivalent nature of this survey needs to be addressed.
