I have faith, that if I chose to go to university, and study physics and maths, I would be able to understand, and confirm, E equals MC squared.

My reason for this faith, is that plenty before me have done the same thing.

conversly, If I happened to get my degree, and disprove E equals MC squared, I have faith that the scientific community will assess the evidence, and if I was right, they would change the formula.

There is no 'changing to fit the current evidence' in religion.
Just 'follow the book and shut up' forever.

Sciences ability to fix itself is why I have faith in it. I have faith that if the faults in its logic on certainthings haven't been realised and fixed already, they will be realised and fixed sometime in the future, when the evidence is available.
