not precise enough.......science or religion are not themselves philosophies.......if they were there would be nothing left for science to do except thinking philosophically............one can (and should) study phiiosophically all of the realms of study.......in the law we call it jurisprudence.......there is a philosophy of mathematics.....economics......warfare......

It did. Logic, rhetoric, epystomolgy, etc., are all common tools of thought scientists use but in the broader sense science is a philosophy. Newton’s title of his great work was Philosopiae Naturalis Principia Mathimatica.

to be fair however, there are scientists who do not consistently use logic.......granted they are bad scientists, but we've all seen them....especially recently.....consider climate freaks and certain covid researchers who let their politics control their scientific study........
