To each his own though. I understand why philosophy is interesting, but I say to it, why waste your time?
I believe you can arrive at some answers if you bring physics into the mix. But the point of philosophy is to stretch your mind and get you to examine why you believe the things that you do.

Whether or not psychology is a true science is debatable. Some colleges have psychology under liberal arts instead of natural science. But there are no absolute certainties in any field. We may be 99.9% sure about something but the true scientist always leaves room for question.
