Curiously, this idea is probably only applied with regards to belief in god. If you do not believe in space aliens, does your awareness of that lack of belief motivate you in any way? Unicorns? Martians? Talking earthworms? There are a great many things that you probably do not believe exists. What does this awareness motivate you to do?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
