Yes they are. Ancient philosophy was the precursor to science.
"Philosophy" in antiquity was simply guessing. But because of the likes of Plato, and others that followed, philosophy got replaced by scientific method.
I am sorry but even today, even Christian apologists have this bullshit argument of "Non Overlapping Magisteria"
It is the bullshit argument that science and religion are compatible.
It is true in every religion that there are religious scientists that are ethical enough to leave their religion out of the lab. But there are assholes in every religion who have science degrees to stupidly attempt to use science to point to their book/god/club.
Victor Stenger debunks this crap in two of his books, "God The Failed Hypothesis" and "The New Atheism".
Thank you for providing further proof that you lack any actual understanding of the matter.
The relationship between religion and science is not remotely similar to that which exists between philosophy and science, so all that you have done is create a false analogy and posted a lot of vapid nonsense.
As to philosophy being a precursor to science, that part of philosophy that pre-figured science is not something that philosophy really concerns itself with since their divergence. You are trying to criticize what philosophy is today for what it no longer is, but for something that, in part, it had been. The technical name for your error is the genetic fallacy. I'd suggest you look it up and educate yourself, but I know that you will likely instead just post more vapid nonsense in ignorance.
