I don't think there's a need for science in religion. Mythology always had its roots in explaining events people couldn't understand. Faith is the ability to believe that what a group of people told you is true, without submitting it to the criteria of the scientific method.

As an aside, I think faith, and the way the human mind is wired in terms of belief, has a lot more to do with nurture than nature.
