I should elaborate: science is a great basis for explaining the natural world. It is not, however, complete nor conclusive. A lot of our models for the way the universe works are constantly being proven wrong as we learn more about how the universe actually works.
Using science as a basis for why we no longer need faith makes little sense, since the two concepts are almost entirely unrelated. One can explore the infinite vastnesses of space or the smallest atoms, discover how they work, etc., and that still doesn't remove the idea of a god or gods from the equation.
