It takes a large measure of faith to believe with out doubt that the current version of 'facts' repersent the truth. especially when every few years all of the critical points and dates are changed when ever someone smarter comes along and thinks of something new to add or if something is found in the dirt that cant be explained by the current model.So, what you're saying is that the only way to use something, like electricity or gravity or medicine, is if we know everything there is to know about it and we know it right now.....
No what i have said a 1/2 dozen times now is that the 'science' behind the things you mentioned (practical/observiable Science) is not the same branch of science that is only theory based. Unless one can demonstrate every aspect of theory based science then he relies on a given theory to be true when speaking of it. This trust in the unknown is faith, no matter how you dress it up.
