i.e., If one believes science and reasoning is the answer to everything, doesn't that fall under "faith"?

There are many different types of faith.
I have faith that my body will not randomly move around the earth's atmosphere because I have faith in gravity.
Some have faith that when they die they will go to heaven.
Faith is useless. Stick to logic. Logic = factual more often than faith. Faith is like hoping for a miracle.

I actually think this is two different questions. It doesn't take faith to rely on logic because logic has actually been used to prove religion and faith itself. Logic is just a way of thinking well and being able to comminicate your thoughts so that other people understand you. The second question, about science and completely relying on that instead of religion, could be classified as faith. You have faith that your science answers all life's questions. But those who rely on science and religion wouldn't have science as their faith just a way to see the world more clearly.

Faith is belief regardless of evidence.
Logic and science require evidence.
Sorry, but your semantic game doesn't work.
PS: Science NEVER says that science & logic are the answer to everything. Don't put words in other people's mouths. It's VERY dishonest and cheap. You should be ashamed.

To me, it does take faith to rely on logic, although many won't admit it. I would put that type of faith into a different category, however, than the divine faith that many people have, although many claim that science is their religion.

Yes it does. It matters not at all what it is that we believe in (as far as faith is concerned) because we all believe in something or other. I believe in ONE God. Others might believe in Veda, or Ge, or in two, or even three or more gods. We all have a measure of faith. The only thing that matters is where do we chose to place it, and what do we chose to do with it.

No. Science and reasoning can proove before your senses that they are real and that they work. There is no belief involved whatsoever.

Absolutely, especially in this era of relativity in science.
