Your question is flawed. You don't need faith to see the merit in evolution, because there is over 150 years worth of scientific data supporting it.
You don't have a basic understanding of how science works. Science deals with things that are observable. It deals with evidence and things that can be tested and measured. There is ample evidence supporting the theory of evolution. And, of course, when I use the word theory I mean a scientific theory, which is a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
So, there is absolutely nothing about evolution that has to be taken on faith. When you have facts, faith is unnecessary.

I absolutely agree. And about all that "evidence" that are mentioned above, just think how many centuries ago people were thinking that the Earth is flat, And it had been for much longer than 150 years. And they sure had very strong evidence! the thing is with any faith - when You truly want to believe in something, You find the evidence. In my opinion Darwin's theory is just the same kind of religion as any other. And all the evidence only prove that. It is just so popular in our times, who knows what will human believe in in the next 150 years. And the will be evidence!
PS Remember that even Einstein admitted that God existed. And he had the evidences!

Evolution has nothing to do with faith. It can clearly be seen and tested for. NO evidence whatsoever has been put forward against evolution, despite all the propaganda.
An answer above me stated: "PS Remember that even Einstein admitted that God existed. And he had the evidences!" Einstein did not believe in a personal god. Look up a biography and read some of his quotes. The 'god' he believed in is the order of the universe itself. Here are three Einstein quotes for you:
"knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man."
"I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings."

How is it by faith? People have studied it to find answers, I get what they are talking about and agree it's a large probability that it happens. I think it's more by TRUST of their skills in finding answers then by faith.

Evolution is not by faith, it is by study of the science and facts elucidated from experimentation and comparison of living organisms (often the ribosomal RNA is used because replication, transcription, and translation machinery is highly conserved between species).

it is not by faith my friend. We have some 150-odd years of research, observation and experiments to back it up.
Conversely, the bible was written 2000 years ago by what are by todays standards fairly backwards people (see: stoning, homosexuality, status of women, other fun stuff) and it was never updated.

Because it is not faith: it is fact. Evolution is a proven fact; details on request. Scientists do not proceed on faith -- they proceed on evidence.

understanding evolution is the opposite of faith.

It's like having more faith in a doctor than a priest to cure disease.

Please study evolution. It requires no "faith" to accept evolution. As ZER0 C00L very correctly pointed out, it is not that kind of "theory". Gravity is a scientific theory. Drop something. Did it fall? There you go.
