Think about it before you answer. Would you let your child go up in a plane built by engineers with blueprints, testing and all of that or would you rather they went up on a plane built by a preacher with lots of faith but no technical training...
Now I ask again, which is best faith or science?

Faith. Only people who don't need proof are stronger than those who believe in man-made philosophies.

This seems like a sort of ridiculous question to me. People with different jobs should do those jobs. Why would a preacher just go in a plane and hope God would save him? Only an idiot preacher would do that.
By the way, who says faith and science are different things? I think science proves faith, and that you need a lot of faith in science to believe anything they tell you. So, they're at least side by side, if not the same thing.

True science comes from faith. People started exploring the world in an effort to better understand God's design.The greatest scientists of the past and present had faith in God as the Creator. Many are and were Christians. A preacher with no technical training would not try to build a plane.

I put my faith in science when I climb into that airplane. I also put my faith in the pilot. I do that because both science and a person trained to fly that plane have earned my faith in them. I don't have faith in god(s). If they did exists they would earn my faith through some method other than absents.

Your definition of better is not defined. If you are talking about physical safety, science is "better." But if were to rely solely on faith, I would trust that whatever happened to me in that plane would be according to God's plan. If I were to die, I believe I would go to Heaven (assuming God judges so). My earthly life would end, but what does that matter? The time we spend on earth is so short compared to an eternity in Heaven on Hell or whatever you may believe in.
I believe Faith is "better." God has a hand in all things. He has his hand in the blueprints and tests done by the engineers that built the plane that carried me safely across the country this holiday season. If the plane I fly home in crashes and I perish, I would be fine with that. God knows when my time here will end.

Faith can easily be misplaced and the only way to verify that it is not, is by faith.
I'd credit science as approaching a more accurate picture of the universe.

So is that what they mean whe they say on a wing and a prayer? I have always wondered about that. Give me the science dude any time...

we need science to create new ways of medicine and so forth, but schience should never be there to create theories against faith. Such theories like big bang are NOT proven and everyone knows it. When science tried to prove Earth was flat long ago, Bible already said it was a sphere.

Both have a role in people's lives - to compare the 2 in this question is ridiculous.

Science of course. Faith is a vice, not a virtue.

There is no separation between the two. You have faith in the human scientists, otherwise you wouldn't climb in the airlplane, car, or walk under a bridge. They are not against each other. There are laws the engineers use to design the airplane. Orville lost his life, because he didn't understand fully those laws. The laws of god are much simpler. His laws form a perfect society in which the engineers can live. ours is not a perfect society, but it could be and will be.
