Believing in evolution doesn't require faith, requires rational thinking and studying of the arguments that support it.
Technically it requires you to have faith that the facts you're being presented have been verified by others and that the conclusions they've reached based off them are realistic if you don't have the resources to verify for yourself or the understanding necessary to analyze and/or refute the conclusions.
This is why the climate change argument continues still, for example. Unfortunately it's far more pressing than evolution which ultimately doesn't matter near as much as whether or not we're about to wipe ourselves out or need to be working to avoid doing so.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
