Here's the problem; faith isn't about feelings or what we want to believe, it's about what we know to be true even if we don't see it immediately. You said so yourself when you said that you "believe that science deals with objective facts". You have faith that science deals with objective facts, but that faith is based in reality and not just feelings or what you want to believe.
The Christian Faith is the same thing; we know these things to be true because the same One who bore witness to them also bore witness to other events which have proven to be true. While there's a lot that we don't know yet, we do know the character of the One who reported the facts to us, so we can have faith in His truthfulness.
Also every prophecy other than those for the future has happened exactly as stated in scripture. Never has science proven scripture to be in error.
