To add, in my daily life, I've yet to encounter someone who showed an interest in philosophy. Also, to add, science is taught on an empirical basis over here.

The best scientists are philosophers too, as at a higher level you have to do more than just gather data and describe what they find. Higher physics is a metaphysical proposition.
Let's take the first fragment; "Not quite, philosophers doesn't test their results like scientists". I think you meant to say; "philosophers do not test their results like scientists..". Then you continue; " thus philosophers only deals with empirical data". I think you meant to say;"thus philosophers only deal with empirical data".
As well as being ungrammatical, none of this is true. You have a false conclusion signalled by the word "thus". This is what philosophers call a non sequitur. Not only is it a false conclusion but it is wrong. Philosophers do not only deal with empirical data but much more besides. Then you laughingly close you clause with yet another "thus" offering a double whammy in non sequitur terms by ramming home a false tautology (its a circular argument FYI).
And if that was not enough you offer the dumbest conclusion yet because you simply do not have the slightest appreciation of what philosophy is.
None of what you say is relevant. It is philosophy which lays the ground of meaning which dragged empiricism out of the medieval world kicking and screaming into the modern one. It continues to provide a method by which pseudo-science can be challenged to keep science on the right path- a taks which scientists alone seem woefully incapable of taking.
If you had studied a little philosophy you would not be at the mercy of your faulty thinking process.
