Isn't believing on science is also in someways a kind of faith in something, for when youre looking for an answer, it means your looking for something to believe in.?

A theory of the natural progression of life from primitive to more complex forms of structure and existence. It would be more like an act of religious faith if you conceived of evolution as a kind of totalizing explanation of existence or thought of it as your ultimate object of concern, rather than as a description of the manner in which life on earth presents itself in its organic reality. For many, faith is not so much the result of looking for an answer or the search for something to believe in, but it (faith) is occassioned by an encounter or experience, the initiative of which, belongs entirely to God.

Yes, there is a field of study that asks philosophical questions about science and scientific theory. It's mildly interesting. Try looking up the famous philosopher Kant for a start.
Scientific experiments are designed to attempt to filter out any preconceived notions that the experimenters hold. Then the experiments are published and distributed among other scientists for re-testing and criticism. It's the only way we have to regulate science. It's not perfect and that is why old theories are either overturned or supported by new discoveries all the time.

Evolution = looking at the facts that shows that "B" was once "A" and are now turning into "C".
The difference between science and faith is that science expects some kind of proof to back up the theories and are willing to accept that the interpretation if the facts were wrong and change it accordingly. Faith doesn't need facts and are also willing to disregard facts that proves the faith wrong.

In a basic sense, evolution is a gradual development of something.
Science is based on logic and proof. Science does not (cannot) deal with things like intuition and other unexplainable things. Hence science does have a limited scope. Science is still developing and hopefully someday it'll be able to cover feelings and intuition.

I believe in both evolution and the bible and as I have said before the bible, God and science go hand in hand.
In fact God was the first Scientist and we are all his test subjects.
The first part of the bible is figurative not literal to me the old testiment is a guideline as to how we should live our lives (the ten comandments).

Evolution is different from religion because it is proven by known facts, which in no way correlates to faith. We do not just believe in it, we know it.

evolution implies the changing of one species into a completely DIFFERENT species over time; adaptation is the adjustment of one species characteristcs over time to better survive in its surroundings
