Wrong! Science is precise when current data is available. Here you are talking about hundreds of millions ago, so scientists must try to put 2 and 2 together by extrapolation of old data such as bones of ancient creatures.

There is no such thing as 'precise science' when it comes to investigating data and things from many millions of years ago. A lot of it is extrapolation and guesswork and theories, such as the theory of evolution, which is still unproven and may never be.

That is pretty much what my post said. Since there are no video’s or photographs or written records from millions of years ago, scientists have to play role of Sherlock Holmes and use available clues to reach conclusions.

But when current data is available, science is extremely precise. For example science can measure your exact blood pressure and accurately predict your chances of having kidney failure.
