Could you please give me some examples of how supernatural beliefs help people or advance humanity?

I've seen plenty of examples of supernatural beliefs harming people (psychic healers) and stopping progress (the geocentric solar system), so I'd like to hear some examples of how the supernatural aids people and civilization. Can you describe a "worst case" scenario of what would happen if we eliminated supernatural thinking? Would people die, and progress come to a screeching halt as a result? Please, be as specific as you like.

Chances of getting into Ivy League, i.e. Princeton?

Currently high school freshman, starting fourth semester (So not too much info yet). So far I've gotten all A's except for a B+ in gym ( I know... forgot to do a worksheet). I have a 4.56 weighted GPA (not really high i know, but hoping to get at least 4.7 by junior year), ranked 11 out of 251 (Not fabulous either). I got a varsity letter for swimming this year, but regretfully didn't join any clubs, although I'm planning to next year (and hopefully a lot of them). I pretty sure about NHS later on, and i took the SATs in 8th grade with a 1780 (obviously taking it again). I am going to take the AP Chinese test next week...and hoping for a 5. In the future I will take as many AP cles as I can (hopefully at least 8) and I plan on joining track next year. I am a very good writer, better than math. Then again, I haven't learned much math, and writing is more natural for me. However, I hope to improve a lot on math. I play the violin, I'm first generation Asian- American (does that have affect? i think so...) Looking back, there really isn't anything remarkable...but what are the chances of me getting into an Ivy League or top school, if I really pick up with the extracurriculars and the grades. If not Princeton, then maybe Brown, Dartmouth, UChicago, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, or Northwestern? I'm very intelligent, but a bit lazy. Suggestions please?

Should I do what my wife says and cut back on my drinking?

3 bottles of scotch and 1 carton of Corona's a week - as long as the bills are paid and the lawn is mowed, does it really matter?
