The scientific method eliminates the need for "belief". Based on it, those two (very broad) theories are used as frameworks to give a variety of answers.
Some are more plausible than others, but all of them more likely than a magic spirit man in the sky meddling in the affairs of men.
The point is that because we do not "believe" in evolution and the big bang, we keep applying the scientific method to them and we keep making progress.
