Not necessarily. Modern science evolved from changes in attitude toward religion. There was a movement away from blind faith toward a more rationale and philosophical explanation of faith. It's the trend back to blind faith (especially strong here in America) that is disturbing. I blame the inevitable degradation of protestantism. Yes, except that there are core elements that cannot be questioned - 'is there a god', 'was Jesus Christ the savior', etc. Those must be - by definition - taken on faith. The bible goes into detail on this - Jesus explicitly states that you must believe, on faith, in him. Admittedly that was probably added post-fact (even if anything was true of the bible, of course) by the writers of the gospel(s), but ... point is, you must take some of it on faith no matter how much you 'question'.
