You don't think anything through before you type this rubbish do you? :P
Of course no one man knows all of the scientific studies that have been made, but theories are not just instantly believed, they are tested and approached from a skeptical standpoint. Evidence is required for the theory to become seen as useful.
Religion is the opposite. The theories (I use this word as a counterpoint, I realise I am demeaning it by using it in a theological context) are taken as truth to start with and questioning or testing is positively discouraged.
Certainly some belief is required in both cases, but some belief is required in every single thought due to the fickle nature of perception and our interpretation of sense-data, and to equate the two on this basis is extremely disingenuous.

Religion and faith are not synonyms.
Science is a faith-based system. Go ask your professor. :P
