I feel that in some way the views of philosophy, science, and religion have some sort of a connection, but simultaneously they are much different when defined and practiced. Philosophy is defined as the rational investigation of the the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct and the critical study of basic principles and concepts of a particular branch of knowledge. Science is defined as a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws. Religion is defined as a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
For example, in order to determine what things and people are made of, how they are made, what do they consist of and so on, the method of producing an answer that satisfies each point of view differs in each study or belief. In philosophy, the objective is to find a rational explanation based on wisdom. It seems to me that there will never be a final and complete answer, there will always be a case of an answer to an original question that will lead to another question, like a chain reaction if you will. Where in science there are facts that prove a final and correct answer. Religion is more of what you believe to be the answer or explanation based on your views, not facts or further questioning any reasoning or explanation.
