No "faith" is required to believe the theory.

Sorry, neither evolution nor science in any form has been a necessary precondition to dismissing the overwhelming majority of the world's religions and most everything they teach. Nor do I need anything to replace any of the voids religion so often likes to point out. So they idea that people would believe in evolution because they need to replace religion is wrong. If no one had told me about evolution, I'd just be an atheist with less accurate information about the world.

That is ok because the Theory of Evolution, the real actual one, not one of the many creationist strawmen, does not require you to.

It's a subtle hint.

"Anyways, I don't have faith in your theory."
Well since you know nothing what so ever about it all or any and all of the sciences that support it, then why post the OP? To show that you know nothing about it? You make that totally clear.
You know nothing about how the universe formed or the solar system or Earth or life and the evolution of life on the planet, which has billions of facts that support the scientific theory.
This isn't the 1600's and evolution was a done deal in the late 1800;s. Millions of scientist have been and are still working on how it all works. Some of the greatest minds in humankind have contributed and your not one of them.

It probably is the Cambrian, but I'd like to know from him. I never heard that it was a "goofup" before. What's the goofup with it?

I'am with you on hearing from him.
But this
"It couldn't explain the timeline goofup that ultimately led to ''quick evolution',
I don't think he is referring to the "quick evolution" of the Cichlid fish.
"
Super-fast evolution
The cichlid fish in the lakes of East Africa are a classic example of rapid evolution and extreme adaptation, In Lake Victoria, more than 100,000 to 400,000 species of cichlids have evolved and probably even in a much shorter period, because there are indications that 14,600 years ago the lake was completely dry.

There is nothing that demonstrates that evolution is a logical neccessity, yes. I'm sure you understand that's not how science works. What would you consider "proof"?

I think one can come somewhat close. viz:
1. organisms reproduce with occasional errors ie variation occurs (observed)
2. environments restrict what variations can survive ie selection occurs (observed)
3. variations that survive reproduce ie evolution results (deduced and observed)
In fact, I do not see how this process could fail to occur.
