Why do people choose faith instead of facts?

Not really a question, more of a discussion.

How come people refuse to believe facts and well developed theories like evolution and instead turn to faith, aka belief, and believe something with no facts, proof, evidence etc. to support it’s existence? It baffles me that people can just say “Hey I have faith!” and that makes it alright.

Oh and to anyone that is going to play the “it’s just that, a theory” card, that’s not enough to refute evidence
