pete, as Bill D points out, modern evolutionary biology does not involve "faith" but, rather, 150 years worth of evidence, gathered by thousands of talented scientists, over millions of man-hours. And these days a scientific field, like evolutionary biology, is informed by many other scientific fields as well - for example dating methods are based on physics (i.e. the radioactive decay of various elements) and genetics is based on chemistry. So, if you attack evolutionary biology, you are attacking the entire edifice of modern science. For a start, such a stance strikes me as stupendously, mind-boggingly arrogant and foolish!

I would also be interested to know why you think that so many scientists, from so many countries, have got it so wrong. Are they ALL deluded, or are they ALL involved in some sort of giant conspiracy (to discredit the Bible, perhaps)? I think that we would all be VERY interested in your answer to this question.

Finally, if you were really interested in the evidence for evolution, you would read something other than creationist websites. Something like 'The Greatest Show on Earth', for example. But then, I forgot, you haven't got time to read books, have you?
