That's a statement made from ignorance. The scientific method, for example, is based on certain philosophical views, particularly with regards to epistemology.
no it aint.
That doesn't mean it doesn't have any useful parts, but when push comes to shove, its mostly BS. For example: when a dope calls a view based on the standard model a materialistic view, that's flat out stupid. "epistemology", really? using commonsense, logic, and testing is some great field of philosophy there. More wordy BS to say "blind faith is stupid." or 'belief without observation is just as stupid.".
But whatever. humans are insane, well, as insane as any other great ape.
