I don't think that philosophy is very scientific in regards to ethics and morality.
But ethics and morality are not questions of science. Neither is philosophy. So how on earth can any thinking person state that philosophy isn't scientific when it comes to ethics and morality. Let me draw you a picture:

philosophy = not scientific
ethics = not scientific
morality = not scientific

Do you actually have any idea of what science is and how it works?

Whenever you say something is right or wrong it is unscientific as in it can not be tested or disproved.
But the point of science is that the hypotheses and theories are testable. Moreover, they have been tested.

Neutrinos are bad...huh?
I have no idea of what that means. Neutrinos exist. What does it mean to claim that they are bad? Who ever made such a claim? What does "bad" mean? Do you think that they consort with whores?
Quote:
Philosophy does entail logic, however it also entails morality
No it doesn't.

That's what I was trying to say.
