No. True faith is not about information, but about acceptance and belief. If you accept and believe, you should act. If not, the conversation stops there.
Additional thoughts:
As mentioned, FAITH is not 'information', it is what results from acceptance of this 'information'. According to The Bible, "...faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen..."(Hebrews 11:1 ASV). Based on our heart's reaction to evidence (Romans 1:20)(Matthew 27:54), and "...from hearing the message...through the word about Christ" (Romans 10:16+17)(Joshua 23:14), God's spirit will give us faith (Galatians 5:22). Some examples of faith based on 'information' can be found at Hebrews 11:2-13, where it concludes by saying: "...These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them.."(Hebrews 11:13KJV). When one has been 'persuaded to believe' something, based on accurate information and thinking ability(Romans 12:1+2), the result is a solid FAITH, and yes, once one has 'FAITH' and BELIEVES the scriptures, they must 'LISTEN" and obediently 'ACT on them' to be saved (James 2:21-26/John 3:36). Jesus said "...Everyone on the side of truth listens to me"(John 18:37NIV) and becomes "obedient to the faith."(Acts 6:7KJV)(Matthew 7:21-23).

Briefly discuss the conflict between SCIENCE and RELIGION in 19th century?
The main conflict between science and religion is that science requires solid evidence of the Biblical events while religion is based upon faith in knowing that because the Bible is the word of God it is true and the events took place because the Bible says they did. Science does not simply accept the fact that because God said it in the Bible it is true. They would have to see it to believe it and not act upon faith.
