Completely agree. I was just talking to my best friend about the Renaissance the other day. Science has become a 'if I can't prove it, it doesn't exist' religion of its own.That's not really a religious view as much as it is a skeptical one. Science keeps an open mind on things which are unproven, at least officially. Unofficially, scientists are rather skeptical about things for which no repeatable proof exists. Still, questions can be asked without fearing for one's life. This wasn't the case when the Inquisition was in power, as Galileo found out.
If science has a flaw, it's the occasional inability to differentiate between possibility and probability. When I was in college, the science professors were far more likely to be opposed to building nuclear power plants than the engineering professors. They saw severe disasters as possible, the engineers recognized that they were extremely improbable.
