there's always uncertainty. Find out what 5 sigma is to see the kinds of standards for truth and discovery that physicists have, and compare that to any other "science" like modern macro-economics.

If you really want to be sure about any opinion you might want to have, take a graduate course in particle physics. Make sure to do well in all the math per-requisites. Otherwise, your choice to believe either way is founded on more than shaky grounds. Not the kind of life I'd like to lead.
