Ape-like creatures, yes. It requires zero faith.

There is signficiant evidence that humans evolved from an ape like species.
Compare the human and ape anatomy.
Compare the DNA.
Compare social, hunting, and behavioral traits.
There are far too many similarities to ignore.

The Theory of Evolution is just that -- a theory. That means that it is not totally and perfectly proved. However, the evidence for it is great and is easily seen and understood by those who study the concept. For all of us, however, we are only led to see its probability, knowing that it is not a matter of primary truth, like 2+2=4 or like water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Therefore, we choose to believe the theory is truth, even though we cannot fully and completely understand all of it. And that, I think, is a "natural" kind of faith.

The evidence comes from among other things observation, fossils and more recently DNA. Nothing at all like faith in Christianity.

modern humans did not evolve from apes...modern humans evolved from homo ergaster and other homos...the LCA, last common ancestor, was an ape, but it's not like the australopithicus wasn't ape like. And DNA.
You can't argue against intelligent design believers, because they don't believe in DNA, how do you argue with someone who doesn't believe in DNA?

Yes, we did evolve from apes.
No the evidence is not superstition. It is right there in our DNA, and in the fossil record.
