hold on...
gulp... belch!!!!! ahhhhh... that was good. no it's not faith in science. if we had faith in science there would be no point in testing science. what atheists have is a logical mind. if something doesn't work, it's pointless to used and claim that it does.

Faith means that you believe something to be true without have any evidence or proof that it is true. Science, on the other hand, is proven through tests, experiments, and so on. Faith in science is a phrase that really makes no sense. Also, because atheists do not believe in God doesn't suddenly mean they are automatically science nuts. That's a fallacy.

I think they have faith that God does not exist. And they back up their faith on the interpretations of scientific findings and results.
There are some considerable similarities between Atheistic faith and Christian faith.

Yes, they do. Science is their religion, and Evolution is their god. They have great faith to believe that a dog and a cat had a common ancestor, even though there's absolutely no scientific evidence for it and has never been observed, and it takes even greater faith to believe that a cow walked into the ocean one day, and after somehow surviving by finding enough grass to eat in the ocean and reproducing, after millions of years, turned into a whale. Aaah, those evolutionists and their "just-so" stories....

YES!!!!!!!
A person who believes in God has nothing that can prove to nonbelievers that he is real. That is belief on FAITH.
Atheists who believe in the "big bang" have nothing that can prove it to people who believe in God. IT IS A THEORY!! Which means it is based on assumption and is only an idea! So that too is a belief on FAITH. The scientists will find a way to prove the big bang--fact? No. It's faith in the scientists, faith in science.
But Atheists wont admit that. They think they can know everything.

I don't really agree with all the answers on here. I think science takes a HUGE amount of faith. there are "facts", but people have to put their faith in these "facts" and the people who discover them. It takes a HUGE amount of faith to believe all the theories that scientists come up with now.
after all, jupiter is a planet, isn't it?
see what i mean?
I have faith in God because I have experienced it, I have discovered it for myself. I don't believe it because somebody told me to. I don't believe it because some old dude with some fancy degree told me i should believe it...i believe it because i have experienced it.

Do you have faith that your microwave is going to work, your CD player, your flu shot, your TV, airplanes, the space shuttle, sattelites, cell phones, computers....
Faith is a word that should be used only when there is no compelling evidence to believe something. In the case of something like, evolution for instance, the evidence that it is true is roughly 1000 times greater than the evidence that O.J. did it.

Faith is a word that means 'Trust'. I have faith that I am typing this, because I have faith that the keyboard is real, etc. Everyone has faith in almost everything, including science.

Yes, I have faith in Science because it actually has evidence backing it up that isn't in a ancient book of myths.

I will say it again. If I put water over heat, wait a while, watch the bubbles come up, put a thermometer in the water and it reads 212 degrees, that is called boiling. There is no faith in that.
