You'd actually be quite surprised.  If you've ever been around the scientific journal system or in general study the "evolution" of science... which is better called a "revolution" of science.

Not saying it's as much faith as... well faith...

but faith actually plays a MUCH bigger roll in science then we'd wish.

It's been that way ever since we monetized science.  Well, even before then... but the monteization of it has made it even more faith based since it's livelyhood based.

I mean, in reality, when new theories come out, they get popular... mostly because the young scientists entering the field and taking classes become fans of the theory and acknowledge it.

While the older scientists generally stick to their own theories and go out of their way to discredit it, even when it can no longer be discredited.

You'd be surprised what scientists will believe to keep their funding.

No, it's not faith to believe in something that can be proven, repeated ad nauseum, and recreated.  That's what science is, taking a theory and testing it....and testing it and testing it and testing it to prove it works.  They alter every single possible variable to ensure that the result they got was a result of whatever variable it is. 

Faith is to believe something regardless of the facts, or lack thereof. 

Yes you can believe in science (which makes it sound like it's a religion), but it's not faith.  If you have faith in something scientific rather than following the data, then frankly you're doing it wrong.  There have been errors in our past science methods, but they've gotten better, the scientific method is near infallible now, and it will only get better with time.  Even theories are not faith based, because the whole point of a theory is that it has evidence to support it, but not enough to make it conclusive.  again, not faith, fact.
