There are plenty of scientific theories with a vestigial amount of evidence. There are even some with none. Therefore, I guess that is faith yes?

There are plenty of hypothesis without evidence, in Science theories are confirmed with multiple lines of evidence such that at least provisional acceptance is warranted. You're using a colloquial definition of "theory" that is equated to "guess" which more correctly maps to "hypothesis" in Science.
So I accept Theories that are backed by substantial, converging lines of evidence which is completely different from "faith" which is by definition accepting something without evidence or despite evidence to the contrary.
