You have faith I will listen and obey!
Is this a medieval voodoo curse?
Yes. It is said that one cannot see the face of god ---even when his face is exposed, by an atheist heart.
It is even said a meat eater can not be compassionate.
It is always a goal involved that takes the place of devotional service to the Lord.
It is said that to get rid of a vice ---one must replace it with a Higher Taste.
Fish cannot eat cake.
You are Lying
You place your faith in so many PEOPLE YOU interact with:
You place your faith in the belief that YOUR Taxi driver wont crash!
You place your faith in the belief that YOUR Aeroplane pilot wont crash!
You place your faith in the belief that YOUR Tax man wont call!
You place your faith in the belief that YOUR Lawyer knows his stuff!
You place your faith in the belief that The Stranger gave YOU the right directions to follow!
You place your faith in the belief that The Stranger gave YOU the right TIME, because his watch is right!
You place your faith in the belief that YOUR cook is not a murderer on the run from central american police!
You place your faith in the belief that There is no terrorist on YOUR plane!
Yet you think it is not faith ---YOU'RE like how Rain man calculates numerical variables instinctively.

I do not do "faith" at all. I recognize that dangers exist...and I am willing to accept them.
Your "faith" is horseshit.
But...if you need it to get you past your dread of the dangers that are a part of life...go for it.
I'm on your side on that.
You failed to answer the question. Who told you that goofy shit? Wait, I know the answer:
“The Bible is the word of God"
"How can you be sure it's the word of God?"
"Because the Bible tells us so"
"Why believe the Bible?
"The Bible is infallible"
"How do you know it's infallible?"...

Do you know what Circular Reasoning is? You should. You are using it in this very thread.
I don't know how life began. Either do you. However, I don't have to concoct a mythical being to try to explain it.
Scientists don't duck and run, Jethro. Unlike you, they use the scientific method in the effort to find the truth. Nobody said it has ALL the answers or that it ever will. Merely, that theories evolve, are tested and modified as new facts arise. In that context, your human concoction of a creator has no relevance to the scientist.
Your inability to differentiate between the processes underlying evolution (Darwinism) and the origin of life is quite telling.

Do wars drive technological advancement?
According to the late Edwin Starr, war is good for absolutely nothing. But how much of the technology we depend upon today began as a kind of military technology? Is it possible that if we were a peaceful species we wouldn't have developed technologies like microwave ovens or the Internet?
Wars put an enormous demand upon a nation's resources. Those resources include everything from materials to military personnel. It's expensive to wage war. And war places a burden upon a nation's citizens. As soldiers march off to battle, the people left behind must work even harder to keep the nation's infrastructure from collapsing.
But wars can also have beneficial effects on economic and technological development. In general, wars tend to accelerate technological development to adapt tools for the purpose of solving specific military needs. Later, these military tools may evolve into non-military devices.
A relatively recent example of this is radar. While scientists around the world worked on using radio antennae to detect distant objects during the early part of the 20th century, we credit Sir Robert Watson-Watt with building the first practical radar set in 1935. The British Air Ministry adopted his design and used it to detect aggressors during the early days of World War II [source: Wired].
Radar became an important tool in militaries around the world. In turn, radar's adoption required countries to adapt to new warfare strategies. It also prompted the United States to invest in research and development for new ways to confound radar. The result was stealth aircraft technology.
On the civilian front, radar played a different role. A scientist by the name of Percy L. Spencer made an interesting discovery while standing near a magnetron -- a device that powers radar sets. Spencer had a chocolate bar in his pocket. The bar began to melt when Spencer stood near the magnetron. This piqued Spencer's curiosity and he began to examine what was going on. This led to the invention of the microwave oven.
Next, we'll take a look at how the threat of war indirectly aided in the creation of the Internet....

Faith is for followers who can't handle life on their own and require constant external validation and group think.

I don't give a fuck about your picture.
What? You get a lawyer and go before the judge to "handle life on their own and require constant external validation and group think"?
