I disagree with your last line. A hypothesis is a great analogy for faith. It’s a belief that something is true. Science involves testing the hypothesis, just as faith can be tested.
It’s important to remember that science, by definition, does not prove anything either. There are only supported and unsupported theories.
So what you’re saying is that here in 2024 we’ve got it all figured out?
*Note that: 2024, everything figured out.

There’s physics. And there’s metaphysics. One does not come to Faith the same way one produces a hypothesis.

I don’t really get why people think it’s “science or religion”. Although there are some things to consider:
If there are laws in the universe, it may be proof that there’s a law giver of some kind?
The beginning of the universe was a recent discovery in science, previous non Christian belief was that the universe had always existed.
Genesis 1 doesn’t have to be taken literally.
