I don't think science should be a matter of belief. The paradigm of evolution is reliant upon several prevailing theories regarding geological dating, taxonomy, biodiversity, etc. And prevailing just means they haven't yet been falsified. Several of these theories are based on observations which are themselves theory-laden, since they rely on mechanical instruments and atomic dating techniques which can fail or just be flat out wrong. Falsification in any one of these areas can entirely change the paradigm of evolution. The scientific mind does not believe in evolution; it makes observations which have so far borne out the underlying theories without encountering falsifying observations -- always prepared to accommodate for falsification even at the cost of the whole paradigm.
