This quote is so wrong that it makes me wonder if Neil deGrasse Tyson is even aware of it’s existence…
Karl Popper has long ago produced ample proof that science is true only till proven wrong so it ever being true depends solely on us temporarily believing in it…
Maybe the guy who wrote this should have put it a little differently.
The good thing about the scientific mind-set is that whenever we find proof to the contrary it makes it easier for us to stop believing an erstwhile scientifically held truth.
And to continue from there.

Science is not wrong at all times, only just before the next step forward. Actually it’s the knowing that at some point every theory will be proven ‘wrong’ – or at least incomplete – which enables science to go forward without having to ‘kill’ its past. I just uses it as a stepping stone.

He doesn’t even know what science is. All the sciences “report” to philosophy, because regardless of what our senses tell us (observational science), our reasoning and conclusions must be philosophically sound. So, you can’t say “Science is true”. It’s meaningless; it’s like saying “football is true”.

[…] We, the humans, are the ones who came up with the Big-Bang theory. Which is nice. It offers a generous canvas on which we might eventually thread a lot of ‘science’, but doesn’t, in any way, offer even the slightest opportunity for the most imaginative amongst us to propose the flimsiest hypothesis about what started the whole thing. Hence those of us who follow a far longer tradition feel free to consider that a Divine interference is the sole rational explanation. For everything that hasn’t yet an ‘scientifically proven’ one. As if science ever offered us a definitive answer… […]
