Science knows nothing with 100% accuracy and only arrogant ignoramuses are that certain. We are within 1% +/- on the age of the earth and from converging lines of many evidences. Science uses probability statements on such concepts and theories and there is always more to know about something and theory is often modified and even overthrown. Science is not religion, thankfully, so evidence is used in support of positions and some of those positions are very certain. How the earth was formed, and we see stellar nurseries in action, and how old the earth is, and we have many lines of evidence there, is very certain.
These evidences are easy to Google.
