I'm going to paraphrase what my wife always tells me. The whole idea of having faith is that you do so in the very absence of evidence. If there was evidence, faith would be unnecessary. I admit that does make sense, otherwise it wouldn't be faith, would it?

One simple question

That's the definition of blind faith, IMO facejacker.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them. 
The way I see it "blind faith" is a tautology because you don't need to have faith if you have evidence, and if you don't have evidence and yet you "have faith" in it, then that's blind faith.
