I don't have to have "faith" to believe in science. Science is based upon what we know by developing hypotheses; conducting experiements and/or gathering data from reality; and based upon the evidence either declaring a hypothesis a confirmed Theory, a theory being the most likely explanation as to how a phenomenon works or discarding said hypothesis for a hypothesis that has more evidence to back it up.
We call this the scientific method. It is based upon a logical method of gathering data and coming to a relatively accurate understanding of how things work that we can reasonably assume, based upon the evidence, is accurate.

Faith isn't this elusive and mysterious thing, it's really very simple. Faith is what you trust and believe. Do you believe the sun will come up tomorrow? Then you have faith in the sun. If you are married or in a serious relationship, do you trust your SO? If so, you have faith in them. The more you get to know someone the more faith you have in them. Same with God, the more you get to know him, the more faith you'll have.

I only know that 95% of biologists don't accept creationism as factual and Christians accuse them of being wrong. Christians can't conveniently single out biologists however because they operate within the same framework and use the same methodology as all other scientists so 95% of all scientists must be wrong according to Christian fundamentalists- how crazy is that?
