Science is the raft. Theology is the great ship. I hardly see philosophy as useful. It's a box of maps, none of which are correct.
The great ship that we admire from the submarine window.
Hardly useful? Ha! Philosophy makes the transition from child to adult, tribal to civilized, possible. Science makes it easier. Theology makes it trivial.
