No point in debating it, & it's tiresome to.

Yes , its a tired argument I agree. Science vs philosophy seems to be a misnomer ; the scientific method the philosophers state is just another branch of philosophy. Many scientists argue that 'philosophy' does not elucidate in our modern world , and is ironically meaningless. I can tell from your writings what you generally think on this subject area.
What has effectively divorced science from philosophy , is the question of absolutes , science seeks it , while philosophy does not. Not because of arrogance but because each stage of the scientific process Must inform the next stage.
Also as per my last post , in terms of specific scientific 'questions' or 'statements' that researchers pose , I neglected to tell you that both the former and latter Must be answerable. If they can not be answered then the question or statement should be rephrased.
Now such is the general controversy on this I know people will have all manner of opinion on these subjects.
