If evidence for god is in abundance, why is faith necessary?

That doesn't mean that whatever they're accepting is actually real.

I dont know how true it is, but I seem to remember a study which showed that, under MRI, the parts of the brain that lit up when believers were asked to think about "God" were the same parts that activated when they thought about themselves. Very revealing, if indeed true.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
