You seem to be grasping something here. Science within the years of existance has not even come close to inhibiting the ability to have faith, but moreso discovering the innevitable ways of the essence of Life- scientific explainations aren't too far off the beaten path of such things as the paranormal, gravity, and our bodies. Also, in recent years, scientists have found it hard to deny that everything and everyone is mainly made up of one thing: energy. The faster it vibrates, the more solid it becomes.

One of my favorite quotes deals with this. It comes from Calvin & Hobbes. "Sometimes I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
Well, what if we were to think of it this way for a moment: Let's stop blaming an outside or superior entity and possibly think that "God" (or the Source) communicates with us in every given moment, mainly through experience (the things we usually take for granted) and that we sometimes ignore that communication, sometimes we don't.
And that this Source is not "outward" from us, but within and all around us. Possibly, we could see a connection of this "Source" as not being superior, not being any type of form, and not being "outside" of us- but it is that which runs through everything and everyone. That IS everything and everyone. The purest, truest, innevitable, infinite Source that can never cease to exist that you cannot see with the naked eye, but feel it, move it, change it, spread it, push it, pull it, what-have-you. It is perfect, because it just IS. And what we create of it are the results of our life and what happens.
I know to some, this may sound far off, but that's just the thing. Comprehending such a thing seems so impossible- that energy is "God", so to speak, and that we don't have to keep thinking that there is an outside, superior being that either ignores us, loves us, or damns us to "Hell" depending on what we do, although this "God" is told to be all-loving, loving us all uncondionally (without any conditions, rules, exceptions, or commandments) and that this Source created us all equally and in the "image and likeness" of him (as a spiritual entity in a physical form).

Wow. Now, you may not understand or agree with this, but this is something I have felt deep down all my life, sitting in church, sitting in Philosophy class, and reading books. Then I happened upon a series of books that absolutely and clearly spelled it all out for me- as if everything I felt deep down was written on those pages. It all makes sense to me now. This is just my view, my Truth. I wanted to share it with you all.
