Science does not determine everything. Governments, democracy, taxes, laws, rights, and religion are all philosophy. They provide no new facts however they determine society by numbers. Though not modern nor having new knowledge, humans survived for centuries with little science. Some argue science a luxury and not needed by other species for survival. Science may slow our evolution because it provides for our survival and many changes may not be necessary. Although most of philosophy may be wrong it still provides a basis for society.

I'm grateful for science! I thihnk it has given us a great deal. I also believe that it is valuable to view the world through many facets, including, but not limited to science. I suspect most on these threads think the same.
