The least we could do is put "science" in quotes whenever we're using it in their twisted way. The same goes for any other word, like "anti-vax" or "racist."
I feel that using the word "science" in their way without qualifying it with at least quotes gives them more credibility as any onlooker would view us as admission that we don't trust science, which they may still view as a process, not a bizarre consensus.
I can agree to that, but that's far more effective in text than in speech where doing so constantly will make you look far worse than them often unless the person already agrees with you.
It's even easier in speech because you can just change your inflection. You can also throw in longer explanations in lieu of just the word ("their idea of science") very quickly whereas in text it might look unwieldy.
