I say faith is belief in that which has no evidence. Predicting experimental outcomes better than other theories would tend to indicate there is evidence to support a theory.
But no one needs confidence in something to factually state a theory is the most accurate model we know of. There would be evidence. This is getting retarded.
Theory is not a model. The Hypothesis is the model.
Theory has some data to back it , only further testing confirms the validity of the data.
A lot of people have faith in ..."correct" scientific theories but ...are later proven... not the ... correct theory and that is the... scientific method.

Evidence that is often later proven corrupted/misinterpreted/poorly tested/poor control groups ect. One might say you have Faith in your evidence until you don't.

Then read as "the most accurate way to predict a given phenomenon that we know of."

You can say that all you want. I disagree. A lot of people have faith in incorrect scientific theories but that's not the scientific method.
