I agree that faith and science seem to be on a collision course again; They are both better off kept apart.
Science does not try to answer spiritual questions. However, an attempt to explain the nature of matter, or why the universe has no end, soon gets close to sounding like faith. Scientists are just as reluctant as priests to hear their paradigms challenged.
My take on this is that whatever the Truth is, is far too difficult for our puny brains to understand. Call it God, or String Theory, it is just a simplified picture we have that works for us, like subway map. So let it work.
If I saw a ghost, no scientist could tell me afterwards that ghosts do not exist. If you feel the beneficial effect of your faith on you, keep on with it, and let science get on with inventing a better toaster. Or saving the planet we are standing on.
