All of the great scientists of old were also humanists. This does not make the humanities sciences. It just underscores the point that we need both to truly advance as a civilization.

Medicine comes from biology. Biology does have laws. For instance, if you pull all the water out of an Earth-born organism, it will die. Along those same lines, all Earth-born life that we presently know of have a DNA strain based on carbon. If you take that carbon out, the DNA crumbles and the creature dies.

By my logic, laws are not what make a hard and fast science. Quantifiable qbservation and quantifiable effect are what make a hard and fast science. Interestingly enough, that's the same logic that any self-respecting scientist follows. If we cannot presently quantify it, then we do not scientifically state it as fact. We hold off on that until such time as we can quantify it.

Philosophy is not a science. You cannot quantify philosophy, and there are never 100% certainties with philosophy. Philosophy does not care about your numbers or your equations, which are all things that are integral to and required by science. Philosophy cares about the meaning of life, or the meaning of being human. Such questions cannot be answered scientifically.

Quote:

"Philosophy is a science that systematically develops a hypothesis on a premise with analythical tools to resolve the problem trough logical reasoning (which is again science because it is also related to other branches of science and ,this is a fact, philosophy can be considered as a grandfather of the modern science.)"

Philosophy does not follow the scientific method. With this being the case, it may well have led to the rise of science, but it Is. Not. Science. No amount of philosophical observation will tell you with a certainty what your dad will do if you punch him. It can tell you he will probably hit you back, but the possibility also exists that he'll hug you for being a macho man.
