You're missing his point. It's not not knowing, it's "current empirical evidence points to X conclusion".

Science is always open to changing their conclusion based on new evidence. People take that as doubt while con-men bring them absolute answers with absolute confidence and mistake this for facts.

Exactly. Sorry if I expressed my thoughts all wrong. But that's what I meant, that science always awaits new evidence.
