oOo:
Evolution for one has historical evidence, such as the bones of Homo Habilis, and Homo Erectus. Secondly you can't get real-time evidence for evolution because no one would be alive long enough to see it happen.
Belief in evolution isn't a matter of "faith" but more a matter of logic and reason, creationism is pure faith. To say the two are one in the same is like saying cream cheese is a good substitute for concrete.

To bad that’s your interpretation, and I could guarantee you a lot of Christians would disagree with that. For the most part among people with strong Christian beliefs the Earth is only 5,000 years old.
