Be careful about defining science.
"And finally, science too is a faith in that it operates under the assumption that the cosmos is orderly, and that its order can be perceived and even understood."
It would be more accurate to say that science has found that there is (at least some) order in the cosmos and many things are understandable in the sense that they can be successfully modeled with logic and mathematics. It does not say that everything is ordered and understandable. Science has expanded outside of intuitive concepts many times, and will continue to do so.
