Well, yeah. I have faith that if I drop my waterbottle, it'll fall. Not only will it fall, but it'll accelerate by 9.81m/s every second. Every time. Why do I have faith in this? 'Cuz it works, mate! Put a satellite in orbit assuming this and it actually orbits instead of flinging off into space or crashing to earth. To say "science is just faith too" is just semantics some people use to lend matters of true faith false scientific credence.
All of Burke's examples have been soundly shot down a hundred times along with the people who wrote them. I'm not going to do so again, I'm going to cook breakfast instead, but I'll say this: evolution is most certainly falsifiable. A confirmed 3 billion year old human skeleton or dinosaur and human skeletons clearly buried at the same time would blow evolutionary theory as it stands out of the water. As for the parts (feathers, retinas, whatever) being useless until all the other parts come together, that's a bit of misdirection. Who says feathers didn't show up as a form of successful insulation which, coupled with hollow bones, combined to make rather useful gliders and flyers thousands of generations down the road? Or to use an example I've read, removing parts from a mousetrap leaves you with something that isn't much of a mousetrap but makes a fine tie clip.
