Naval gazing
Philosophy has had at least 2,500 years to get it's act together and to make some serious contributions.
The most productive areas have been in logic and the early contributions to scientific method.
But what we seem to hear from Philosophy lately is "But what about us? We were here first!" along with reminders that Ph.D stands for Doctor of Philosophy.
As far as science and serious learning are concerned, Philosophy simply has not kept up. To most working scientists that field is largely ignored as unproductive.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
