Science makes some attempt to explain how things are, and how they came to be. It acknowledges the limitations of research, and undertakes to push those same boundaries. Meanwhile, faith in any God happens in spite of a total lack of evidence.

Belief in a higher power relies on faith - that's all it has. I don't think faith is the right word to use for scientific endeavour, or its results... It would be egotistical to think we have all the answers, or even understand what's right in front of our noses... but at least science makes an attempt...

I would be careful with how much credibility you place on science.. I have worked with scientists for years, not in the field of evolution or other theories, but much smaller experiments for the corporate world. I have seen scientists create experiments or trials that will prove what their agendas want them to prove. They aren't being paid to find the truth, they are paid to provide evidence to support an agenda. And if a scientist comes across evidence that disproves or goes against their agenda, they disregard it and move on to the next experiment. I have seen this done many times. And I'm not naiive enough to beleive that this doesn't happen in every field of science. It just wouldn't be in the best interest for scientists to disprove their own theories. For every hypothesis or experiment that proves or provides evidence to support a theory, you will find hypotheses, evidence and experiments that disprove it...
