The models used aren't used because scientists think they are correct, but because they are the best models that fit existing experimental data. Best normally meaning 'simplest that explain all data', but it isn't quite always that simple. There are scientists who spend the latter parts of their careers trying to find even better models or even proposing worse models that are useful to keep in a folder somewhere in case they ever do become relevant or we come across data the current model can't explain. At the cutting edge of science you even find that the current models aren't matching all the data, but there is no consensus on a better model and scientists are working to either expand or replace the current model to fit the new data and to explore the non-matching data to either see if it is an error (which does happen) or if it gives hints on a better model.

Anyone who thinks that the model is correct is someone who is lacking a foundation in what science is saying. Often scientists don't talk about the distinction because it is too detailed for the public to care about, but that's not the same as not recognizing the distinction. (Much like how programmers talk about computers as if they are intelligent beings making decisions, often to the programmer's detriment, despite any good programmer knowing that isn't the case, newest models of AI tentatively excluded.)
