Is Science like a Faith?

<  Yes, somewhat.

Science itself is a faith in theories and laws, even though some things we believe in are strong. Well in the past, in the name of science, people have consistently disproved old theories and made new theories to be disproved later in the future. It’s a self-revolving process and therefore should never be taken as final.

That's why they are called theories. Science is about increasing our understanding, having theories and either finding evidence to support or deny them. Have you read Carl Sagan? He explains what science is very well in "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark"
