Questions 3 - 5

3. How does one become a saint? And also, how does one nominate someone for sainthood?
I know it has somehting to do with miracles and being dead, but I'm not completely sure.

4. What is it in people's brains that makes them more "naturally inclined" towards certain areas of acadamia (ex. the arts, numerical subjects, etc.)? Is it solely practice in that area or does it also involve a certain part of the brain that makes you "better" at it?
I realize that while it is possible to become quite good at something one was not especially brilliant at to begin with, one still may not particularly enjoy that subject. (We tend to most enjoy the things we are good at.) Which leads me to my next question.

5. What determines what a person likes and dislikes (in broad terms)? Nature? Nurture? Hormones? Culture? Religion? Brain size? I don't know, you tell me.

Keep your brain questioning,
-Anna
