You can believe that an answer can be found scientifically. You can have faith that what you see with your eyes, and that what happens during experimentation is accurate and not a fluke or trick of some sort.

Just because religion dominates most belief, and there are strong religious groups that hold that belief and faith are binary with no wiggle room whatsoever does not mean that it's the only way they can function. On can still test faith and belief without losing them, and changing those beliefs to what holds more truth.

Holding that that belief and faith have no part in science... is a belief in and of itself. A particularly contradictory one at that.
