The missing link was never found nor god in a literal sense has been found. So would it be correct in saying faith lays on both arenas?

Actually, the missing links HAVE been found. Homo habilis, homo erectus, cro magnon, australiopithesus (sp?), etc are the missing links, and we have clear fossils that show all of them.
When it comes right down to it, we have a fairly complete record of the hominid subtree starting from the common ancestor hominids share with the great apes.

If we already have pre-conceived ideas of God or the missing link, I am looking for the wrong thing. After we conceive and idea that this is God then we are looking for our idea - not god because we do not know god until we are open and we discover what is God. If God is omnipresent. omniscient, and omnipotent how can we have an idea of what is god.
Do we understand what 'infinite' really means. Can we ever imagine something that has no beginning nor end?
If I am looking for a person with a name form and address I can find the person. But if I have no name form or address of the person then I have to be open till I find what I am looking for!

There is no ONE missing link, that's a myth. Every new fossil that is discovered was a missing link. There are many, many found links.
There is no evidence for any god or gods whatsoever.
So no, faith is not required, nor is it accepted in science. In religion, that's all you have.
To net it out, you are entirely incorrect.

Uhh, maybe you should consider reading some scientific material later then the 1920s.
The "missing link" was discover nearly a half-century ago.
Btw, a missling link in human evolution does nothing to effect the Theory of Evolution.

Well, science is based on the principle of occum's razor: You make theories that have the greatest predictive power for the minimum amount of complication. So the issue of the missing link is essentially irrelevant, as evolution is proven to give greater predictive power than, well, anything else.
Remember kiddos, science doesn't PROVE stuff, it gives EVIDENCE for things.

the missing link has been found, people just deny it. Did you know that churches all over the world are protesting a Kenyan museum exhibit that shows the evolution of man using ACTUAL fossils?
