Science and logic deal in knowledge.

Everything you said is completely true, however, you lied by omission.
Science and logic do not deal
exclusively in knowledge.
Much in science is
based on knowledge or on other science that is also
based on knowledge.
Scientific theories and most of what we think of as "science" is nothing but conjecture.
For example: Plate Tectonics is a theory based upon the theory of Continental drift, which is based upon the knowledge that there are similar plant and animal life on distant continents. Plate Tectonics assumes that heat always rises (not true), the earth's inner layers are high-pressure centers (a good idea, but not proven), and that the "mantle" of the earth is made of magma (again, just a good idea).
Most science isn't based upon knowledge, but lack of knowledge, we assume that everything anyone says is true until we replace that lack of knowledge.
I agree with you. Faith is not believing after it's proven. Faith is believing without knowing.
