Response to Blog - Science vs. Faith

In her blog, Emily asks the question, why does society tend to favor science over faith? 
    I am glad to answer this question because I have asked myself this question many many many many times. I have also had many arguments about this. I have come to the conclusion that people like proof. They love physical sensory evidence and are really skeptical about things that they don't know about or see. To people taking a leap of faith or having faith is equivalent to trusting a stranger with their wallet over trusting a friend. It has also been brought to my attention that people have a safe zone that they don't want to cross. You can find the mozt extroverted person who is willing to try anything once, but when it comes to having faith in the unseen and the unsure that is really out there they quickly retreat back to the known  or they take a step towards the unknown but onjly to a certain extent. Let us take religion for example since this is the most recent argument I have had with someone. I was talking to an acquaintance and they told me that they believe in God, thought Jesus was "cool" but doesn't believe that he existed. When I asked them why they had a lack of faith in the Son of God, they said because the things he did was too nice, "no one could be so perfect" "no one could be that loving and caring." On this response I gave up although now I wish I didn't. You see this particular person is so use to the emotions that they see every day that they can't believe something or in someone that portrays the opposite of what is sensed. Science, though ever changing, presents facts and numbers and figures. Science in short presents hard solid evidence, it is black and white. Having faith requires getting over what people will think of you, and holding on steadfastly. My faith is dear to me and being alive and getting through the day safely without harm is evidence enough I need to know that God is real, (although to the scientific observer it is luck, fate,coincidence...etc.).  With that said, why do people have such trust in science since it is always changing?
