Is there a scientific point of view?

Should the study of philosophy be supported by scientific knowledge? How much do our conclusions about the world relate to the hard facts? A rather concrete and touching question, are these two parallel lines, if I'm right, science developed following Greek philosophy, perhaps because it needed it? I read a quote from Rabbi Adin, that discussing theological questions from a scientific perspective is like discussing physical facts from a shoemaker's perspective. I would be happy to answer, I won't bother you, I would be happy to refer to your letters. And thank you for your work and writings.
