No, faith does not necessarily imply being absolutely sure that God exist. Some believers think they know for a fact that God exists while others have faith God exists, but are aware that no ultimate proof exists. To me God is the best explanation for the origin of the natural laws that let our universe evolve leading to stars and planets and bacteria and ultimately human beings capable of understanding the universe.

I think that all true believers do have doubts from time to time, because they are capable of critical thinking. People with blind faith don't think much, so there's no chance of encountering any doubts.

I see that, "there is no God" is your faith, and it trumps logic. Take a million glasses (the one you use for water, drop them one by one on a tile floor. Each time you drop one, it will shatter into irregular pieces, keep trying until in doing so one of those ideal moments happen when the shattering glass break into many many small glasses just like the one you broke. When that happen come to me with the proof, and I will listen to you.
For me faith never trumps logic, may be you just never had anyone explain to you things.
Come on, bring something, something important, and lets see, if I can help you understand from a believer in God's point of view.
Hasan
The friends of God will certainly have nothing to fear, nor will they be grieved. Al Quran 10:62

There are too many coincidences in the universe.  . . . and the existence of the subconscious which never sleeps.
