Are you suggesting that whatever makes it through the peer-review process has been proven to be true? How exactly would you prove that the world wasn't created yesterday?

No....it would be SCIENTIFICALLY true, until someone proves them wrong or shows that there's no evidence to support the theory as presented.
How exactly would you prove that the world wasn't created yesterday?
We scientists don't logically need to prove negatives. You would have to show that the world WAS created yesterday and I, as a scientist, only need to show/prove that you have no evidence that the world was created yesterday.
