And see, who says philosophy has come up with no new info in years and years. Perhaps it has, it's just being ignored.
You know what else I find interesting, This! Morality, values, virtues, and ethics, that are determined to be beneficial to life and happiness, and are derived from purely logical, philosophical reasoning. (that means no inference of faith, deity, mysticism, or other irrational reasoning), are remarkably similar to those that are consistent with Christianity, and 7 of out of the Ten commandments. The first three of the Ten Commandments address reverence toward God.

Or can you observe these things and the opposite.

Natural law is ingrained, albeit darkly, in the hearts of all people. So is religion. Science takes second place, though certain people would like to think otherwise.
