Is that your round about way of saying that you believe what scientists tell you to believe?

No, but it is my roundabout way of saying that "So you only believe what you can see?" is an incredibly stupid question.
Science doesn't tell anyone what to believe. Science tells us we should question beliefs and treat them with skepticism because, as Krauss often elucidates, the universe simply doesn't care what we believe. Something is either true, or it isn't, and science is simply the best method that we have for telling us what is true, or what isn't. If you refuse to acknowledge this, then you refuse to acknowledge that you're living in the 21st century.
This message board exists because of science. The fact that our average life expectancy is now inching toward 80 years is because of science. All of our buildings, our cars, our technology, our entertainment, our food - everything we love and take for granted in our lives - is because of science. So if you refuse to acknowledge it, and if you refuse to "have faith" in science - as you stupidly put it - like the rest of us do, then that's your problem and not ours.
