Questions and answers.......?
Do you think there are more questions than there are answers or will there always be an answer?

Always more questions than answers. You can tack on "Is that correct?" to every answer. It is not possible to answer more than a question that proceeds it. :)

It seems every answer is another question when you read socrates he seems to be asking questions all the time but not answering till suddenly there is the answer he called himself a midwife .helping people find the answer to their own questions for themselves I like the one where he goes looking for the most pious man in Athens to ask him what pious meant at the end the most pious man in Athens in his answer suggested the Gods were impious and if you read the myths they certainly were Progress comes from making each answer into a question

There will always be an excess of "answers". The question is which answer(s) really address the question accurately. Sometimes this is difficult if not impossible to determine.
So we are left with questions with no good answers. Maybe that's the way it needs to be to keep us from getting bored.

I think the nature of a 'question' and an 'answer' make them an equal pair. There will always be an answer. It may not be known, but it always exists IMHO. But that also means there is always a question. It's really just transfer of information. A question requests information...and an answer sends it. So if there wasn't any question, there would be no answer. But you can't separate the two in my book.

Sometimes there are more answers, like the above person says.
Personally I think there are more questions - I like to think I am inquisitive about life and will ask 'why' about life. Maybe the balance in knowing WHEN you have an answer that is correct for you.

Yes, there will always be more questions than answers.
As to whether there will always-be-an-answer to every question we have I think this is doubtful,although I dont think this should worry us unduly.

Questions spawn answers and answers spawn questions. The human mind and soul need both. If we ever run out of questions, then that day our essential beings will starve and if the universe and all contained within be completely know too us for too long we will wither and die.

I think Questions are endless and that is a very healthy sign for all o
As a matter of fact, as Niels Bohr said: Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question.

There are more answers.
For example, the question, 'What is your favorite ice cream?' could have hundreds of answers.

In a perfect world there should be an answer for every question

With so many opinions in the world, I think there are more answers.
