There seems to be a general trend that scientists are more likely to be atheists....

The only explanations I can think of are --

(1) Atheists tend to be drawn to scientific fields.

(2) Theists tend to avoid scientific fields.

(3) Scientific understanding, knowledge, or method breeds atheism.

Which do you think it is? Another possibility? Why?

He wants to know what I want from him. I would like to say I just want him to love me and be with me. I'll say what I think but I just want to know what might make him more comfortable and pleasant.

Thanks for the answer and sorry for my bad English. Have a great new years day!

The original scrolls that are the base of the bible are compiled of a library of books. When someone asks why dont you believe a book that contradicts itself, it is evident then that they are uneducated. They do not realize the reason it does not contradict, is that it was compiled of thousands of books and all the contradicting ones were thrown out. So I ask why do so many take one book, compiled so tediously and with only the information allowed, so literally.

Albert Enstine (however it's spelt) said that Energy does not die. It can only change form. He said that to prove the after life. Well animals are also energy. So they can't die. They can only change form too, right?

Languages that come from the same family are often amazingly similar. Are they ever close enough that linguists could have a reasonable debate over whether they are dialects of the same language or both descendants of a common language?
For instance, English is spoken in both the United States of America and Great Britain, but they are spoken so differently that cultural translation is often necessary for communication to take place. Do linguists consider these related languages, dialects, or the same language, and what factors go into their decision?

Some people are really big and some people are really small. Some creatures are so small that they can fit in the palm of my hand. What size is the soul? Does it grow with the body?

My cousins wedding was at the end of October and I forgot to bring my gift which is a check. I had the money at the time, and was going to send it when I got home, but I forgot for a few weeks and then things came up and didn't really have the money in my account.
Well now I want to send it,over two months later, and I don't know if I should say anything on the card explaining myself.. Or just say sorry for it being so late.. or nothing.
I know that you technically have up to a year to send a gift, but I feel bad.

that makes belief in and love for Jesus (pbuh) a condition of membership (Islam)

While loving and praising the only religion which makes disbelief in Jesus a condition of membership (Judaism)

I'm not suggesting they should hate Judaism but the discrepancy is baffling

Okay, so I'm not much of a religious person. I have my own beliefs, and that's my deal. But I don't understand why people pray for such petty things sometimes. Someone on Yahoo Answers asked everyone to pray that some girl forgives him because she is mad at him. I was sick and in pain a couple months ago, but it was nothing life-threatening, and people were "praying" for me. I just think there are more important things to pray for than things like that. What's your opinion? I'd like to know. Thanks.

The Jewish Calendar says that this is the year 5768. From what major event is this measured?

Has any group ever pushed for a new calendar measure date starting from a different (newer or older) year?

You know, being cool with whatever someone else is.

Why can't we experiment with that here?

I am a practicing Catholic. I have read a great deal of the Bible, and some of the doctrines held by the Catholic Church perplex me. While I can appreciate the symbolism of receiving Communion and confession and going to mass, I have never read in the Bible where Jesus asks us to regularly do these things. I know most Catholics will say that the Church is passed down from Peter, but it seems somewhere along the lines Jesus' message has been lost and more emphasis has been on following the Church and its doctrines rather than what Jesus asks of us.
