Besides, the essence of Christianity is faith. Seeking proof through science is about the same mentality as those guys in the the medieval days seeking proof through “relics”.

It’s an evasion of just using faith.

Scripture never characterizes faith as "blind faith" or "a leap of faith". We can be absolutely confident in our faith in that it is supported by the evidence of the created world (science = natural revelation) and scripture (special revelation). I have just as much faith in the saving power of Christ and his future return as I have faith that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow. And for essenstially the same reasons. If one looks at the tangible evidence it points unerringly to God.
