It usually meant you were kicking ass at Civ2 MP.

I am never wrong. It's scientificaly proven.

Philosophy: a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school.

Science: Science refers to either: "the scientific method" – a process for evaluating empirical knowledge; or "the organized body of knowledge" gained by this process.

That's a very limited view. There are several ways to describe philosophy alone, yours sounds more like a description of "a philosophy" in the broad (and vague) sense it's often used today (like "the philosophy of our company is blahblah"). This has hardly anything to do with philosophy as a field of rational enquiry.

[Spec]

If that's the way you see it.

Even so, it has nothing to do with science.

How can you prove philosophy? Philosophy is not a fact, its an opinion. Science is factual. Prove to me that freud was right. Or plato, Socrates...They all gave their opinion and their views of the world and humanity...not facts.

What's the difference between a fact and an opinion?

I'd say key characteristics of science is falsifiability. Most stuff in science today is theory-heavy and not "proven" at all in the sense that it is unchangeable facts.

Prove to me that string theory is right

And actually, science doesn't prove that things are right. Read some Popper

Modern science is based on philosophical ideas.

Like Quantum physics?

Or maybe like a piston engine...and the Balance of PH in a pool. Or how acid rain kills nature.

I wanna see the day where philosophy cures cancer before science.

That's like saying I wanna see the day when musicians invent more fuel-efficient cars!

String Theory isn't really physics.

And musicians don't do science either.

That being said, I did take a philosophy of time class.. and found it interesting.

"What is time" is probably a philosophy question at this point. I have heard rumors of it being a physics question though.
