Very weird phrasing since I can have trust itself in science or faith or understanding etc.
1. There are parts of science that I believe in because I understand them.
2. There are parts of science that I believe in because I have raw understanding of it and trust about that more complex things are as said.
3. And there are parts of science that I don't have view because I might haven't been hear them before or they don't have any effect to my life.
So where trust comes in, it's not same as faith. It's trust that have been earned and I always consider how much effect it have. Like what about if it's not true. What kind of things/decisions I can/might have to base on that trust?
So I don't have any faith in science, but that doesn't mean I would fully understand everything about science. Guess what I do if I find out that I have pure faith in something. I stop believing in it so it possibly goes to section 3 first, then if I'm interested in it it goes to 2 and maybe finally to 1.
But I would say that there probably are some people who have faith in science, no doubt. Put I think then they believe in science because of wrong reasons.
