Because it could a percentage either way. Therefore you aren't 'sure' how old it is but you can say it is 4.6 billion years plus or minus X% and be a certain percentage certain that it is within that range (normally 95% or 99% sure).

I'm 100% sure that the age of the earth is in the order of billions of years. And I'm 100% sure it's not in the order of thousands of years. Science tells me this.
