No, even scientists are making at best educated guesses. And faults in
their techniques are uncovered from time to time as well. Scientists
know nothing "for certain", they simply have evidence that supports a
certain possibility or set of possibilities, but that is far from being
certain knowledge.

Reminds me of the story from the first scientific measurement of the height of
Washington's Mount Rainier. They worked like crazy, and their result: 14,000
feet, exactly. But they *knew* people wouldn't believe that, so they added
twelve feet.

They were *still* 400 feet off....
