Answer to:
Is it realistic to expect priests to remain celibate?
No, and the requirement to remain celibate is ridiculous. The whole thing is just a ploy made up by the Catholic church so they won't have to pay the priests' families when the priests die, because the priests won't have families.

How did the US government figure out that bin Laden was behind the September 11th attacks so quickly?
History (al-Qaeda had attacked on U.S. soil before, namely the World Trade Center bombing of '93), and the FBI going through a four-hour long investigative process of the hijackers themselves. They linked the names of the hijackers to al-Qaeda.
The media was mostly responsible for pointing out that it was probably bin Laden's work, however.

If the God of the bible is just a human invention, why would we invent Him the way He is? Why wouldn't we make Him more flexible with no consequences to not worshiping Him? Why wouldn't He just like other kinds of gods?
Well, I do believe in God, but I can see why people would think it's a human invention. According to the churches I have been to, all you have to do for eternal life is be dipped into a pool by your priest or pastor and accept Christ as your personal savior. It's really not that hard to do.
Some people believe that God was invented just to make sure life isn't meaningless....
