Only the ignorant and naive take the superstitious beliefs of religion into account. I don't think that philosophy is very scientific in regards to ethics and morality. Whenever you say something is right or wrong it is unscientific as in it can not be tested or disproved. Neutrinos are bad...huh? Philosophy does entail logic, however it also entails morality which is purely a subjective study that should never be involved with the objective study of the sciences.
By superstitious beliefs I mean supernatural explanations. Remember, the whole purpose of creationism is to explain the creation of mankind through supernatural ways. Also remember, philosophy is not scientific, yet science can be philosophical.

Now with regards to ethics. True, it is an integral part of many religions yet by itself morality is not often explained supernaturally. Rational explanations still dominate moral justifications.

That's what I was trying to say.
Pas exactement, due to the mutually exclusive nature of the topic, each side upholding different grounds, the 2 can not coexist therefore the 2 could not be at peace.
