Other ways of knowing?

Belief justified by evidence.

Evidence is data that is more likely on a particular hypothesis than on any competing hypothesis.

By implication, all knowledge is tentative, and can be held to varying degrees of certainty. If belief in X is justified by lots of really good evidence, and that evidence is data which is extremely unlikely on any competing hypothesesis, then you could be said to know X to a very high degree of certainty.
