<p>There are no good or bad ideas, just what people do with them.
Anyway, move your date to about 500 years ago DRab, when science developed the scientific method and was hence forever separated from philosophy. To quote an old joke that floats around campuses...
*A dean was complaining to the physics department about how much money they spent on their experiments. "Why can't you be like the math department?" he asked angrily, "all we need to buy them is a blackboard and a wastebasket! Better yet," he continued, "why aren't you more like the philosophy department? We don't even need to buy them a wastebasket!"</p>
