Actually, all scientific answers are faith-based.
Take a simple case: Where does rain come from? In your answer, you will need to explain (a) the water cycle, (b) the very nature of water - highly unusual for a molecule of only 18 amu, (c) why does it fall, (d) terminal velocity, and so on. In all of that, a child will ask why? how? There comes a time when you can go back so far and no more scientifically.
And that was for an extremely simple case - one that science thinks it has the answer for.
Now for some difficult cases: what is a dream? if humans and monkeys evolved from the same ancestor, why is there such a great disparity between the intelligence of a human 5-year-old and a 5-year-old baboon? how is it possible for a brown cow to eat green grass from which it produces red blood and white milk?

I prefer a scientific answer. My daughter was in the hospital for 3 months. Faith based answers told me everything will be fine when infact that is not the case. The scientific answer was that because her babysitter had shaken her that she had lost 1/2 of her brain and the consequences are very serious. The faith based answers were and are that GOD will make a mirical and heal her. I still pray that GOD will heal her, but I mainly pray that GOD will comfort her.

There is no contradiction between faith and science in Islam. Islam is a religion of thinking, researching, learning and finding facts (though the muslim world does not put this very much into practice).
However, whenever there seems to be conflict or contradiction between science and faith, I go for faith as it always proves right. The conflict is always because we are still in the process of learning and science has not yet found a way of understanding what faith teaches us. The Quran is an embodiment of this. So many scientific facts are stated in the Quran ages ago and are still being revealed by scientists to be true.
Peace

I prefer Faith based answers because they are broader in concept. I mean, scientific answers are necessary and good, but narrow in the total unified answers of life and beyond. I find Faith answers as freeing the creative thought and awareness of our universe.

I don't believe you need to separate the two. It take s as much, or even more faith to believe in unprovable theories like the big bang. Many scientists today are tuning to the concept of intelligent design. I think science and faith can coexsist on most levels. God is the designer, and of that I have no doubt.

Without Christianity and faith, there would be no science. It wasn't until Christian scientists began examining the world around them that real science began. Up until then, pagan people believed the world was too spiritual and couldn't be touched or understood.
So, to answer your question, there is no scientific based answers without faith based ones.
