Like it or not, science NEEDS religion and philosophy to keep it in check.
Science is great at asking--- and answering-- whether we CAN do something. Religion and philosophy ask whether we SHOULD do it.
You can build a bigger monster, a more powerful bomb, mess with human DNA in an attempt to build a superior human. Science can do that. But, should you? What if the superior human builds a bigger monster to throw his more powerful bomb to wipe all us lesser men off the face of the planet? Science never asks that---- until after the fact.
