Tyson's quote that "science is true, whether you believe in it or not" is nauseating. I'd much rather think of science as a method of inquiry rather than a worldview in and of itself.
If noone believed in science, in what sense would it be true? It just becomes a meaningless dogma to say so! Belief is the primary component in truth!
And that's exactly what it is. Science is nothing more that a social construct. A viable construct, but a construct nonetheless.
When people say "science flies you to the moon. religion flies you into buildings", a good way to respond is "religion gives us 'you shall not murder'. Science gave us atomic weapons."
LOL! I have to remember that one. 
Yeah. 
I know you don't like Vox Day but in his book The Irrational Atheist, there is an inventive and thought-provoking chapter called "The Case Against Science", where he makes this exact point (i.e. because science has given us weapons that can destroy all life on earth, any benefits it has given us previously have fallen away).
