No, “pretty sure” is how science works.  You make observations, you have a 
theory as to how things are, you test the theory; if it is confirmed by 
observations again, if it predicts what you observe later, it is good to go 
as long as there is no observation saying otherwise.  “Only religion claims 
to know everything although clearly knowing nothing.” (Lawrence Krauss 
[paraphrased])
