Is 'faith' really a 'great cop-out'?

RE: Is 'faith' really a 'great cop-out'?
Actually a Scientific theory can consist of various hypothesis, that can create a workable testable model. The key to science is that even if a testable model turns out to work in practice, when a new discovery is made in one of the components of the theory, it can completely alter the theory, reinforce the theory, or even render the theory as false. Whenever that happens, science will have no problem dropping that theory. But that does mean a new hypothesis or theory will have to be researched to take its place.

Science has no problem with being proven wrong. It is not dogmatic as most/all religions are.
