too much faith in God?

Faith in God brings about good life changes plus it is pleasing to God. Faith in science is not bad, but it won't save your soul.

By definition, one can't have faith in science since science is based on a process which requires verifiable evidence. Science is constructed of ideas that can be verified by experimentation or observation. Even scientific theory must be constructed relative to the scientific laws.
Religion has no requirement for what is a valid belief. Too much faith in God has held humans back for centuries. Consider that humanity only started discovering medical cures and technical solutions after humans stopped having faith that God was responsible for everything.

We don't have faith in science. We see what it gives us, its not a matter of faith - look what you typed the question on! Were semi-conductors developed from technology and fundamental physics from some priest who believed all humans need to know is in the bible? Or from scientists investigating the reality of the universe with open, critical minds and the experimental method?
Obviously faith in God is the mistake as investing time and thought in a bronze-age myth wastes energy that could be better spent on thinking for yourself.

too much faith in science and not enough faith in God. Some people seem to think that we can carry on consuming the way we do and some new science advancement will solve anthropogenic environmental problems.

I have faith that gravity will keep me on the ground when I walk across the floor. Is that a bad thing?
There is nothing wrong with faith in general. Blind faith is another question.

too much faith in god, not enough "faith" in science. One has multiple people testing to prove/disprove something. The other says just believe with no evidence, no way of knowing if it's true or not, and by definition, could never even be concluded logically.

Too much faith in science. We believe it can heal everything, it can solve any problem (even us Christians fall for that), do about anything... I have yet to find someone who has too much faith in the true God.

Neither.
There is too much faith in dogma. Faith in God(s) is harmless, but faith in dogma is outrightly dangerous.

I have faith in neither. The only thing I have faith in is myself, because I know who I am, and I know exactly what I did and what I think.
