But, if you're doing it right, there is no place for faith in scientific theory. You may be mistaking the application of poor-faith science such as creationism for actual science. They operate on completely different principles.Actually they do not. for the fact that this 'theory' is ever changing means it is not based in sceientific Truth. Because it is not based in truth but fact one has to have faith that the current incarnation of what he or she believes is actual truth. Faith in ever changing facts is still FAITH no matter how you want to justify it.
Science adjusts its views based on new evidence and observation. A theory might change in the face of new evidence, but that just means that the theory is stronger because there are now more threads of evidence to support the ideas of the theory. If the evidence showed that evolution as we currently understand it (and we understand it pretty fucking well) were wrong, the theory would adjust to that new evidence.
Do you not realize that there are literally mountains upon mountains of evidence for evolution?
