No. Unless YOU'VE changed your mind.
Evidence=a rational reason to believe in the existence of something, a genuine indication of the truth of a belief. If it ISN'T genuine then it's not evidence so to believe anyway would be to believe 'on faith.'
Evidence BEING a rational reason to believe makes ABSENCE of evidence but just going ahead and believing ANYWAY... - an IRrational reason to believe. So belief without evidence is both believing 'on faith' AND irrational. So since "faith" IS belief without evidence (by the definition we're using) and that's IRrational - the term 'rational faith' is an oxymoron.
