    Faith in the scientific process is different than faith in a religion or supernatural being, but it's still faith. Trust in something you can't prove is 100% reliable. Science has let us down many times, and will again. That's why it's faith and trust instead of pure fact.
    Where the two faiths align is they both have a set of facts that are being interpreted, so it's really faith in an interpretation of fact on both accounts. Science calls them theories, religion calls them sects or doctrines.

    Faith as used here is better said as "trust" in order to clarify its meaning. Trust is usually a reasonable assumption of future events from observations and evidence of past events. It is not believed in wholeheartedly or without demonstration like religious faith is. It is given when adequate evidence supports its existence and can be revoked when faulty reasoning impedes its utility in furthering understanding. That is what it means to have "faith" in science as Professor Dawkins puts it. It is not equivalent to this knuckle-dragger meme of "scientism" that uneducated grifters haplessly throw around online.

    But even science isn't perfect. Many studies are funded by corporate interests, scientific magazines look for what sounds more interesting, which leads to prioritizing controversial studies even if they haven't been replicated or have methodological problems, while studies that dispute or confirm some previous claim aren't as popular. There might be bias in the scientific magazines and media about what to publish...

      And as for your other point, yes the funding of science can be subject to political, financial or social biases etc. it CAN be poorly carried out. But there are layers and layers of regulations (see GLP, ISO standards), inspection bodies (MHRA, FDA, UKAS) and the like, and a wealth of critical peer review for findings to be published and accepted by the wider scientific community. These safety nets are designed to weed out poor data from sound data.
      If things aren’t up to scratch that’s because people are dicks sometimes. It’s not a fault of the scientific method itself.

      You don’t need no faith at all.
      In quantum fluctuations this is the case all the time.
      Particles pop in and out of existence.
      Also I have a feeling that the universe is eternal. (No beginning or end, for there to be absolutely nothing ever would be a paradox on reality itself. Reality can’t exist in such a state).
      When the universe reaches its end and everything else has died out and nothing is left but black holes, which contain all the matter.
      Only then will all the black holes begin to merge with one another.
      Eventually 2 mega black holes will collide with one another and when the energy coefficient in its singularity exceeds the gravitational force of the black hole, it will explode once again ( big bang) and all the particles in the singularity which were under enormous gravitational pressure, will explode outwards, with the space that’s been contained inside the black hole exploding outward and expanding at an exponential rate (inflation)
      All the matter will be released as gas clouds and will eventually begin to cool and form stars and rocky planets.
      So again creating a new universe with perhaps completely different physic to our own.
      In other words the universe is eternal.
      And each universe is part of a massive multiverses structure.
      I also believe that smaller black holes that fade out tend to released all the folded space outward again which is basically what we know as dark energy.
      Anyways these are my personal interpretations that make sense to me.
      I could be, and probably am way off.
      But for the time being it sounds logical.

    And so is the theistic arguments. They, also, are based on rigorous examination, thinking, putting hypothesis forward, being peer reviewed and being based on evidence handed down to us (which itself enjoys a majority agreed opinion, as to its veracity).
    Except, that science CANNOT explain everything. It's good at 'what' and 'how' answers, but very poor at 'why' questions.
    To illustrate, here's some examples of tphenomenon that science cannot explain, yet humans experience these on a daily basis:
    Origins of life (bio-chemistry)
    Logical + mathematical truths
    Metaphysical truths
    Ethical beliefs
    Aesthetic judgements
    Science itself is not accessible through the scientific method

      When you cannot explain something, the correct course of action is to say "let's try and figure out what this isn't and come up with a likely explanation of what it is by process of elimination." It is not to say "God did it."
      Further, it is an absurdity at best to say that religion is even remotely a process. They claim to know the answers from the start and insist they not be questioned. As for "why?" it is a question that must be asked in the appropriate context. It implies a will and/or a thinking agent, which no one has demonstrated the universe or anything "beyond" it to be, thus making it nonsensical to question "why" it was created until such time as that has been demonstrated to be reasonable.
