Shame on you. I normally like your posts, but that statement betrays the same kind of proud and willful ignorance so common in cretin creationists and IDiots.
Scientific method itself is the product of philosophy. There would be no modern science were it no the insights of great philosophers like Aristotle, Bacon, and Hume, to just name a few.

Perhaps you're right, but science has moved on while in many ways philosophy has not. Philosophers seem to still be fighting the same issues they were 2,500 years ago.
Or, perhaps I am reacting more to the versions of philosophy we see on these threads. When I see what a couple of our resident philosophers post I am glad I managed to avoid philosophy entirely through 12 years of college.

I would advise you to step back and take a good look at what that statement says about you -- but I doubt if anyone who would engage in such mindless, broad-brush labeling would understand.
