I don't think it's a good idea to be absolutely certain about anything. Reason itself has its limits. Even mathematics -- where there is precious little room for opinions -- is rife with paradoxes. (Paradoxi? Paradices?)
One specific example is Galieo's parardox. Simply stated:
Some integers are perfect squares and some are not, so there must be more integers than perfect squares;
BUT...
There is a square for every integer, so there must be the same number of squares as integers.
Whatever you believe, you could be mistaken.
