Philosophy gets a bad name from the bad philosophy used by apologists. It's like if people's idea about "science" were molded by Creationists. They might say that "science is bullshit" because at least part of what the word means to them is the bullshit of Creationism.
The reason Creationism isn't science is it works contrary to one of the core principles of the scientific method:
Apologetics is bad philosophy for the same reason Creationism is bad science. They both start with the conclusion and look for reasons to believe them.
