Everybody needs faith in something, right?

Where? In the hearts of others-for example my family. If I were to pass before my loved ones, Id live in them not in heaven. What basis? (For what purpose?) Its something I cant change. Instinctual connetion with family members that create that spiritual (emotional and physiological based on upbringing, social intereaction, and perception of reality) connection even if far away.
What is the goal of the question?

That is just the remembrance of one, it is not existence. Right? Please

A child is born and when it starts learning from the parents and other members of the family (and the society around) , if he does not trust them and doubts them (to start with) he will remain ignorant the whole life. Later in life when he sees (right from wrong and observes) some anomaly in the things then of course he could do. This is the natural course. Right?

Without doing any experiments themselves some or many or most people do have faith in Science. Right? Please

What do you mean by faith in the context of your sentence? I would say they have confidence that it works because it has been shown repeatedly to work. Faith in the religious context equates to gullibility. It is belief without sufficient evidence. Were evidence sufficient, faith would not be needed, right?

I don't know about that, people seem real skeptical until they can truly see or at least understand on their own. Heck I see people put more faith in a religious figure before they will believe a scientist or science.

It starts with faith and ends with faith, like a circle completes as one reaches the same point as before.
They have faith in science or the method they use, if they have no faith in the method they use they won't make a premise to start with. Right? Please
No offense please.

That's not necessary true. A person can start with a premise without putting belief in it. Normally science can't know without confirmation and science really shouldn't be dealing with belief as in faith that somethings true. Science after all means knowledge, that's it's arena, not faith.

Needs faith? Don't know about that. Just what need do you think faith satisfies?

What definition of faith are you using????????? (provide source, please)

there is no need for faith in the scientific processes in the sense that religions use the word, which is belief without evidence. We have evidence that the scientific processes do indeed work and produce measurable results.
And, no, you do not NEED faith.

My understanding of faith is to trust somethings before having full evidence to it or assent of the mind to the truth of a statement for which there is yet incomplete evidence, in other words a premise. Please
