I would appreciate atheist answers more, but feel free to...
When did the practice of keeping dog as pet start? How and why did the process start? Historically, many thousands of years back there was no such thing as "household dog". If the dogs existed, they were wolf like and very wild and unpredictable. So how were they tamed into becoming a pet?
I've been meditating and I have been able to use mild astral projection. Is it possible for humans to actually use telekinesis or receive visions while in a meditative state?
i've always wondered as to why humans tend to create. they have created/invented so many useful things...and yet i find most of them bad. for example, humans invented showers, sinks, toilets, pools, etc. which became beneficial because nobody likes smelling bad or feeling dirty; but all that...
I'm talking either about cars, planes, space travel(NOT TIME TRAVEL) or anything that can transport us really quickly in the future. Recources would be helpful, thanks!

I.E. will future generations of humans be highly advance robots.
Like will organic humans do something so catastrophic that we annihilate ourselves and all that is left over is our...
stay around? I know this question sounds stupid, initially, but its logical thinking in relation to the paranormal.
With millions of species already being dead, and not seeing any of their creepy ghosts, why do we think our species is special and that we can somehow live after were dead?
But...
I believe that religion is completely man made.We assumed and imagined up a higher power, thus we named "God". So since it is man made, then why are there ghosts? From what I do no already ghosts are NOT man made, -we die and come back so to speak-. We can imagine them though and make things up...
I just started watching BG, i've caught the past few eppisodes of it from S4 on demand and liked what i saw so i've gone back and i'm watching through S1 and plan to get caught up. I did not watch the miniseries as i could not find it online so maybe it's explained there, but why did the cylons...
in more detail my question is that, Is religion the cultivated belief system of the majority of people in the world , created over time with a supported stories and accounts of bad things happening of people talking of what things happened to them and how that made them feel which in result...
I saw the show "Mars Rising: Journey to Mars." If man is to successfully travel to Mars then humans must successfully overcome numerous obstacles.
An electric rocket will probably be used for a Mars mission, but these potential rockets only exist as tiny model rockets in labratories. . Mars...
Its inevitable. Why cant humans accept change! It goes back to us being selfish! Change has to happen. Change has happened before to get us to become what we are? (eg. the Ice age, allowed humans at to move to different countries when the water was frozen over)
I think that people forget that...
...do anything environmental? In fact, I do all the things that all the GW people want everyone to do (well, I can't say everything of course). I just do these things for different reasons. I don't think we're causing global warming and I never will. However, I do these things because I believe...
