Ah, the crux of the matter, at last.
Simply put, faith is about belief without proof. Science is about proof without belief. I cannot prove that God exists; I believe it to be so. I can prove that gravity exists; no belief is required.
Faith and science are complementary; either can exist without the other. However, neither can replace the other. To attempt to do so is a logical fallacy of the first order.
Believing science can provide the truth about things and the answers for questions is as much about faith as believing God and His word.
It's not a matter of faith vs evidence, it's what the person is putting their faith in.
It's intellectually dishonest to pretend that there isn't huge amounts of trust in the reliability of the scientific method to provide a reliable method by which to investigate the world around us, to trust that man can be objective enough to investigate it in an unbiased way, to trust the integrity of the people who do the research and peer review, to believe above all else that the naturalistic materialistic philosophical presumptions that scientists operate under with NO evidence or proof, is the correct philosophical system under which to operate.
And faith in God isn't without proof. Read the Gospels some times. Jesus constantly appealed to evidence and proof to back up His claims of who He was. He appeared to Thomas and offered to let him put his fingers in Jesus' wounds to offer proof for the one who doubted. People turn to God all the time even today based on proof when they see God work in other people's lives or when they see someone get healed from a terminal illness.
This whole business about faith believing without proof and science being about proof is a bunch of hogwash. And saying that "...faith is about belief without proof. Science is about proof without belief." doesn't make science somehow superior to faith as is always the implication. The smugness and sense of superiority that always comes across when evos make that comment is unjustified as they operate on faith as much as those whose faith is in God instead of man.
