One can know stuff without believing it.
That's like saying, "One can eat stuff without wearing it." The two concepts are mostly unrelated.
I don't "believe" that evolution is true, nor do I "know" that evolution is true. I
accept that evolution is true because of what (little) I do know about evolution.
I don't let what I "believe" negate what I know. Beliefs can influence how you interact with reality but they don't effect how reality works.
In general, you can't wear your cake and eat it too. If you claim to know about evolution but you still believe it isn't true, it's probably because it's on your face instead of in your stomach.
