Science is in the the philosophic category of epistemology.
>Philosophy is for fleshing out consistency, but is incomplete for finding truth
It's the only way of finding truth, be it from metaphysical deduction or abductive/inductive inference such as that of the scientific method, which is an epistemologic pursuit and falls in the philosophic category of epistemology. You COULD appeal to divine revelation as another method, but in terms of secular ways, they all fall under the philosophic category of epistemology. Science was called philosophy/natural philosophy until relatively recently. If you read people like newton's writing he called science philosophy, not science. All the greats like descartes, leibnitz, newton and even up to heisenberg, planck, and the QM founders were also deeply immersed in philosophy. All secular knowledge was considered philosophy, hence why PHD stands for doctor of philosophy.
