Evolution tends to be looked at the wrong way, mainly by theists mono or poly. They do not realise that all it is, is what works, if something does not work and can not propagate it self, it will not exist.I "believe" in evolution because of evidence. Evidence, not faith. This makes me passionate, not fundamentalist. Also like many have suggested here we probably shouldn't use the world "Belief" about these scientific things. But I wouldn't use the word "Know" either, because the most I can be is de-facto, and I am therefore even de-facto about whether the most I can be is de facto. I am almost certain that the most certain I can be is almost certain. I call it, De Facto @ De Facto, for simplicity. But hey, I'm weird.
So what word would I use? I'd agree with Bungy that 'Understand' is probably the best word.
