No. Science can't explain everything. Science is not a thing that's out there. It's a process of discovering what's in the universe and how it works. It never claims absolute truth, only making models that fit the current data. We're never going to acquire all the data there is to know, and our models are only going to be as advanced as our greatest scientific thinkers are capable of imagining. Nobody can possibly explain everything everywhere.
However, I am convinced that science is the only reliable way of finding anything out about anything. Doing tests and experiments with the universe is how we extract truth from it. Science allows us to get closer and closer to the truth by testing our ideas against reality.
"Faith" is not a valid way of acquiring real knowledge. Basically, in faith you are accepting whatever ideas feel comfortable to you, or just accepting what others believe without evidence just for the sake of believing it. But, as Carl Sagan so eloquently said, "The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true." Science is the only way of finding out what is actually true, by observing and experimenting with reality. Close-minded faith traps one into a worldview where their preferences do determine what's true, and that's a destructive worldview when dealing with a reality that does not conform to our preferences.
