There are two sets of theories in this universe: scientific knowledge an philosophy. All theories begin as philosophy, and then some of them are confirmed by observing real-world phenomena, and can be used to predict real-world events. These special theories are then termed scientific theorems, laws, etc. Theories that are not proved by observation, or CANNOT be proved or disproved (such as the existence of a god) are philosophy.
Education must identify three sets of information: facts, science, and philosophy, and make sure that students are taught which is which, and how to determine for themselves what the difference is. This is known as critical thinking, and it saves people from being victimized by pyramid scams and snake-oil salesmen.

Philosophy is the internal understanding of many concepts to form an Idealist state......Education is teaching those concepts to others...?
