when theres empirical evidence and logic to explain things then religion and philosophies guess work is no longer needed in that area.
and science is growing everyday
prediction: no more guessing needed, no more religion and philosophy
science tells us what we know, religion guesses at what we dont know
science is evidence without certainty, religion is certainty without evidence |

Sorry to make an example of what you just said Joe but this is typical from a person who is actually... guessing.
Philosophy and religion cannot be REPLACED by science because they fulfill entirely different, non-interchangeable purposes.
What you just said is like saying that one day socks will replace all other items of clothing.
