I concur, but others that subscribe to a different epistemology would disagree. Regardless, that doesn't make philosophy as whole useless, especially given that science rests upon philosophical premises.
I was being kind of silly, though it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when philosophy is put forth as a means to knowledge on the same level as science. Also, every time you say the word 'epistemology', a jstrodel gets his wings.
I was not being silly about theology, though. Theology is one of the least useful enterprises humans have ever invented.
