Science can test and inform both religion and philosophy. Where science contradicts either of them, then the premise was wrong. The debate comes as to what science has contradicted. It cannot comment on God, it cannot comment on the existence of things outside our universe, it cannot comment on whether God acts within our universe, and it cannot comment on existence of consciousness, an eternal soul, morality, heaven or hell.
