why should you care if a school wants to teach a joint science-philosophy class.

If you can formulate a "joint science-philosophy" class, and tweak it enough so that it isn't too obviously just shilling for the church down the street, more power to you. If, however, you want to hold a science class, I'd expect it to cover pretty much just the territory that most scientists think of as science.

"Science in the light of philosophy" where the philosophy is such that it refuses to shut the door to a creation, is where Science seems to get edgy. They're their own light. Shut those windows with a view of heaven! We can't bear the glare!

I would be comfortable with identifying certain claims about Science that are made to students who are old enough to have the TOE explained to them, as explicitly philosophical ones. Shoot, if what you say about "most scientists" is correct, then "most individual scientists believe" would do. Enough to say hey, we aren't shutting the door on heaven, that has to be your choice.
