You're trusting that the information is right. The same way you trust your wife not to bang the milkman. You've no guarantee she won't, but you trust...have faith in her that she wont.
The terms are interchangeable really, only difference being the f-word got hijacked by the theologians. I trust scientific findings too, but I haven't actually checked most of them myself, I just trust that the peer reviews of new findings are impartial and accurate.
Faith is willful dishonesty to ones self its not a gift its a hindrance. Its like... people say pray for me i have faith that ill get better. That scenario being medication and science are doing the work for a sick person and faith need not apply.
