Faith should be strong enough to not require a scientific explanation for God.

Science should (and usually does) acknowledge that on evolutionary timescales that “fact” can change based on available data and analysis capability.

Faith and science need not ever agree, nor must they ever be in conflict.

Faith and true science always agree.

“Faith should be strong enough not to require a scientific explanation for God” = People of faith should shut up and admit that their beliefs are irrational and have no basis in the “real world”, and that scientists - not theologians - are the arbitrators of Truth.

" Faith should be strong enough to not require a scientific explanation for God. "

It's important for people to understand that by definition of the word "science" there's no possible way for science itself to explain God.
One reason is, God is supernatural and science, by definition, is limited to natural explanations.
So science can neither touch nor touch on God.
