are you asking for a specific scientific discovery produced by faith?

if FAITH could be defined as a CONVICTION, belief in the existence of a rational creator, the originator of understandable LAWS,
much of the best science was done based on such faith:
Keppler, Newton, Faraday, Einstein even.

Faith is the assured expectation of things to come.
When people build up faith on ignorance, lies and corruption, that can only lead to a detrimental folly for humanity.

Prologos - Belief in a creator was a hindrence to Newton. Whenever there were things he could not figure out he would resort to god-did-it. If he had not been a theist he might have kept struggling for answers.
Einstein never believed in a "rational creator".
I didn't ask what have believers contributed to human knowledge. It would take 10 seconds on google to answer that.
I asked what faith-based thinking has contributed to human knowledge in the past 500 years.
I submit it has been the biggest single factor that has restrained human progress.

Newton venerated the bible and sensed Gods direction in his findings. Christianity went wrong in the 4th centruy according to him

Yes Newton wrote a lot of daft stuff about religion. Like Rutherford he was fascinated with end-times prophecy.
He was a good scientist some of the time but at other times he let superstition interfere with his work.

After all whats been said on this thread, lets make an astounding reconfirming
statement that science has destroyed the idealogical concept of all deities.
Unfortunately since all the gods imagined or created in human history was
expressed throguh ignorance as simple hearsay, lets appreciate what science
has done for humanity through making discoveries and improving the human
experience. There is still much more to learn and discover in this universe.
