If you believe something is true, it is tautology that you know it is true. Like if you are aware of it: you know it. Confidence: knowledge. Faith in truth of: knowledge. Believe to be true: knowledge.
Please denote scientific knowledge (or knowledge/confidence/faith/belief accepted on basis of evidence provided by a verifiable scientific method).
Anyway, a denial requires first the existence of the denied. A state of denial is to suggest that the thing being denied is, but one will not accept this for whatever reason. It is necessarily an assertion, and requires defense.
A lack of belief regarding a thing (no opinion) is not an assertion, although it is always great to defend holding no opinion as I would hope there is a reason for it
