There doesn't need to be a conflict between the two. If someone uses the answer that it's just a matter of faith then they are probably admitting that they really have no explanation for what they believe. That, to me, is not faith. "1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) Being assured and convinced of something implies more than simply "believing" with not basis. Being convinced means you understand HOW/WHY. Science is a tool to help you become convinced and assured of certain "objective" things. Science is a tool to help you increase your faith. Science is a tool that can be used to build faith. There doesn’t need to be a conflict between the two.

However, after looking at the complexity of all creatures, it seems improbable that the system would evolve spontaneously. It's far, far, too beautiful. Recognizing the facts of science does not preclude the existence of God.
