Science has become a religion for some. These people make the same mistake as Idolators in that they place their faith in something created, and not the Creator. Science is like any other tool in the hands of man. Just as a tool which can be used for good, such as fire, can also be used for destruction. So too a gun is created for good purposes, and yet it is used for bad purposes. The thing called Science is actually the 'scientific principle' which involves theories, experiments, observation, and conclusions drawn using logic. It is a toolset which can be used to gain a little insight into how the natural physical world works.
It is not something which we place our trust in. Man is not perfect and his observation is not perfect either. We learn from actually scientific methods involving reproducible results and independent review. But there is nothing about evolution which is reproducible and nothing which can be proven outside of believing certain theories. I do not believe that evolution worked like the scientists believe. Although I do see the Torah discussing a progression of life from the lowest to the most developed over the span of creation.
I think science has a problem with faith because the prevailing opinion of those who 'believe' in science is that everything must be observable, everything must be measurable, everything must be corporeal otherwise it does not exist. They do not believe that anything can exist outside of our senses and thus they ignore any possible spiritual world. We know that the spiritual world is not measurable, and thus we exist on our faith.
