No, believe what you think the evidence says. (And if you believe that the evidence is inconclusive, then be an agnostic.)

"Belief" implies agreeing with or without evidence, otherwise it would be fact - no need for belief.

Even if it wasn't so, the evidence IS inconclusive.

I think our hacker, left-brain bias leads to dismissing anything that isn't cold fact, as invalid. I BELIEVE validity rises from people's experiences, so a little benefit-of-doubt goes a long way to respecting people's experiences.
