Yashcheritsiy: "I can’t believe we’re even still having this discussion.
How can any thinking person still believe in evolution?"

Surely you jest?
Of course, words like "belief" and "faith" are not used by science.
Instead, science proposes natural explanations called hypotheses which can be confirmed as theories, for example Darwin's basic theory of evolution.
Once confirmed, theories are accepted pending new data or ideas which might falsify them.

So belief and faith are matters for religion, not so much for science.

True. but then again, evolution isn't science, it's an ideological interpretation of science designed to accord with a preconceived worldview.
