Maybe, but just because some people have some beliefs does not make evolution, or its study, a faith. In order to do that, you'd have to have one particular dumb idea forced onto a whole population, with no willingness to collect further information or address new ideas.
Not even paleontology as you've described it would do something that dumb.
