I agree that only hard science will find answers, but there is always room for philosophy.
Philosophy is a guess, not a way to discover reality. Some of Philosophy, especially the pre-Christian one of the ancient Greeks, is to be admired for its intelligence and amazing insight of reality.
Philosophy since the invention of Christianity has been completely and utterly useless and wrong. Some of the pre-20th Century philosophers are smart enough to dislodge religious faith from the concept of reality, but not all of them did.
We know now more about reality that any pre-20th Century person did. We can now call all pre-20th Century philosophy false, if not possibly interesting.
