@altair222 But religion, which is complete opposite of science and scientific method also stem from philosophy. Humanities, which may or may not involve science also stems from philosophy.
This makes philosophy not part of capital S "Science".
As for @tomasz's question, no, I don't think so, not completely. Science is almost all-powerful, that's true. But only almost. There are blind spots to it, sometimes it's too strict for its own good, especially around the edges, where there's either too much (think society) or too little (thinkpersonal, subjective stuff) data, the method starts to fail. So, treacheruos and dark arts-y it may be at times, there will still be room for philosophy and things like humanities.
What is capital s "science" per se? Do you mean academic research?
