Philosophy is the search for truth through reason and logic.
Science is the study of the natural world through experience and experiment.
Some people have a hard time believing that humans evolved from apes because they confuse philosophy with science. So for example, one person may refuse to believe that humans and apes share a common ancestor because they are convinced that humans are special. He or she may be so convinced that they think all of the scientific evidence is garbage. Remember to use Mildred to guide your reading.
