The results science yields can also inform philosophy. I'm curious as to how some people imagine science working with no philosophy. If people are not familiar with making sound and valid arguments, that would surely be to the detriment to science. I don't agree with the view that science is somehow updated philosophy.
Science is a very particular subset of philosophy that has been both uniquely and extraordinarily successful. But other parts of philosophy will continue to exist so long as men feel the need to overreach his own knowledge and teach what he does not know at the expense of his fellow men.
