how is this not the exact opposite of faith?
i will accept that science employs a degree of faith in that you have to accept a handful of givens in order to get anything done. we may never know how or why the universe was formed, although there are theories that try to explain it. but that doesn't detract from the hard facts about our reality that have been illuminated by science. nor does it make science a "faith" a la christianity, judaism, scientology, etc.
