Studying "in great detail" for a pre-Med degree (and particularly Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy) has opened my eyes.
Ultimately, my career in medical studies was cut short by my inabilities in Organic Chemistry; later, subscriptions to scientific periodicals—and a completed career in Forensic Science—has helped to confirm the elegance of evolutionary "theory".
"...One must ask why that is so if evolution continues apace...?
1) We know that blue-eyed mankind didn't exist until about 10,000 years ago. Perhaps it was selected-for a light-gathering advantage in the upper latitudes of northern Europe: perhaps it was selected-for "sex appeal". In any case, "Demograpics is Destiny", as stated in Rummy's rules.
IOW, blue-eyed people are being selected-against by malignant forces of Humanity. (In case you hadn't noticed). The blue-eyed people of the world will be phased-out through no fault of Darwin's. Through DNA, future Paleontologists will record the actual period through which those non-fit, blue-eyed, people lived.
2) Evolution does continue "apace": most significantly among Insecta. (As our generation observes).
"...What great faith...
Not really. My faith in Darwin was disclosed to me in small increments. One could say it "evolved".
To become a medical doctor, Evolution must be studied and observed.
(While Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy is one of many Electives, Embryology is not normally an Elective).
Darwin's is a very elegant "theory" that every medical doctor in the US must study and can expect to apply directly or indirectly every day: Veterinarians, too, of course.
Scientologists and 7th-day Adventists, as just two examples, are not strongly attached to Science, Medicine, or Evolution. But then, I don't know any who are medical doctors, either.

Does not....
If so, you have added another reason (as if we need another) to never darken the door of a MD.
Steering clear of MDs has done wonders for me and my family, and this could explain why. There are still a few good doctors out there, but none seem to have been added in the last 30 years or so. All the recent additions to the fold have learned to profit from death, and understand that to cure is to go bankrupt. Give them drugs to disguise their symptoms, and as a bonus, each and every drug adds new ailments to the patient's woes, requiring even more drugs to disguise, but never ever curing a soul.
Viva Evolution! Product of the new 'science' and the new 'morality.'
