We all do. I don't fully understand the mechanism of magnetism on the sub-particular level. Most, if not all, people do not. But that does not prevent me from belieiving in the phenomenon called "magnetism." In much the same way, we accept all sorts of things about which we have incomplete knowledge.
In fact, if you take a relativism standpoint (which most atheists would) you will realize that you cannot "know" anything certainly. Which means, in the vein of your question, that you cannot believe anything. In which case, you can neither believe that I believe anything, nor can you know that this yahoo! answers queston actually exists. But that is an entirely different subject....
In response to the additional details: just becasue science is continually changing does not mean that it is somehow intrinsically more truthful than religion. Algebra hasn't exactly experianced any major leaps forward in the last few centuries--that doesn't make it obscure or false. And no, your claim that you can have anything about science "explained" is not true. Some things are still unclear--science has theories. Religion has theories as well. You omit the following plain principle:hard science deals in physical facts. Thus, changes do often lead to explainations of previously non-understood phemonena. However, religion deals in non-tangible things, and thus, experiences little emperical expansion of theories. Consider, however, philosophy. When was the last time someone didn't understand some point of deontology, and you could reply "well, don't worry, we will be able to explain that soon when new discoveries are made." Philosophy is subject to the same non-tangible limitations as religion--that doesn't invalidate it.

Its easier for most people to be told what to do rather than figure it out on their own. Many people don't like to think.
This isn't a science related question!

Too many people already "know" the answers without ever searching. If they do search something else, they already know what there answer is without giving it a chance.

There are unanswered questions in science. Can you believe in it? There are questions that science cannot answer. Is it therefore untrustworthy? You get my point?

Yes I understand that, but when it comes to theological perspective it does not depend whether you understand it or not, it depends soully on your faith on that. so it is the faith that is important and not the understanding of the concept.
Ok HAVE FAITH

Do you totally understand quantum physics? (If you are a physicist and totally understand it, just pick your own example.) Do you believe when you are told it's true?

There are questions about gravity, atomic physics, and my cat I don't understand.
What DO we really have all the answers to, anyway?

you can believe in anything whether or not you understand it--you just have to have faith in those who say it is what it is. then pray that it is what they say it is or else you're doomed.
