In a way, we do put some amount of "faith" in what scientists tell us. But that's because in general, scientists know what's true. That's not to say that everything a certain scientist tells you is true, but if every real scientist on earth says that the earth is round, then it's probably true.

Of course, if for some reason you think that all the scientists in the world are conspiring to brainwash you, then you can always find out certain things for yourself. I think there are geographical features and mathematical formulas that prove the roundness of the earth.

And to bring this back to your original question, I do in fact trust scientists more than whoever wrote the Bible, and definitely more than the church leaders who are often pushing an agenda.

There is very little evidence to back up the stories in the Bible, and for that reason I don't trust it.
