I think that acceptance of evolution has little to do with specific knowledge of it, and more to do with lack of antagonism towards science in general.
So if a person is aware that the scientific community accepts something, such as the idea that the planet Earth is hurtling through space at a high velocity even though it seems stationary, then they will also accept it even if they don't understand it.
And this is how it should be.
It's only when people adopt belief systems that are antagonistic towards science when the problems arise.
