This is actually a comical question. A good question but funny nonetheless. Since, when has science or religion not been apart of philosophy? Everyone has their philosophy. Philosophers or lovers of wisdom seek to find what is the case. It is the claim of theistic ideologies (Religion) that state Supernatural Deity is the case and mankind is suppose to worship and idolize these supernatural deities.Science is no different. The scientific method which all scientist use to formulate, test and validate hypothesis was the great philosopher ARISTOTLE'S philosophy. He distinguished the forms of approximate and exact reasoning, set out the threefold scheme of abductive, deductive, and inductive inference.Scientific theory's for the most part are Abductive inferences. Meaning scientist construct theories to explain observations. People think that scientist only deal with facts and everything they state is 100% fact. NO, for the most part all scientific theories are Abductive (approximate reasoning) inferences.The greatest scientist of all time Isaac Newton practiced "The Natural Philosophy."Philosophy in itself goes above and beyond religion and science. However, religion and science is a philosophy.
