Doesn't one have faith in Science?
If faith is essential to believe in Science, why it should be bad in Religion, please?
One shouldn't have blind-faith in science and or religion, please.

Religious faith is simply hope based on no evidence or bad evidence. Scientific faith is based on overwhelming objective evidence. The two could not be more different.
Religion is poison because it asks us to give up our most precious faculty, which is that of reason, and to believe things without evidence. It then asks us to respect this, which it calls faith. - Christopher Hitchens

Peer review doesnt belong to science any more than critical thinking and evidence based research. These are facets of science which have been built on over the years. Consider science as a suite of processeses designed to yeild the most accurate result.

This system isnt 100% accurate, no system is. Instead it yeilds the most accurate results bases on the evidence available. Generating predictable & repeatable results.

This is no where remotely close to blind faith.
