Indeed what Will said. Science is not based on faith, but trust, but a damn good reasonable trust, and the fact that all its proven theories are objectively verifiable. If I don't personally, or can't, test the knowledge then I can go pick up a peer reviewed journal and check another source.
Me personally, when I see science or biology or evolution I see god. But that's based on faith, not trust. I know normally faith and trust might be somewhat interchangable, but if we're getting down to the nitty philosophical gritty, then they are definitely two separate concepts.
Trust is based off specific, objective, past information. Faith is based off...yourself (whole other thread there).
