Why do we need Philosophers?

Many of the worlds problems result from religion. I think more people have died from religious differences than from any other source. That is one reason for philosophers, they reasonably investigate and discuss religious issues.
Our generation has seen more advancement in the areas investigated by scientists. The rate of advancement in the areas governed by scientists (and engineers) is increasing and affecting us all every day. Philosophers investiage the why of this advancement. That is another reason we need philosophers.
Their is a huge intersection, getting larger, between the domains of religion and science. Who investigates both these subjects? The philosopher. One area of philosophy is augumenation, which in the classical sense means reason giving. That is carefully investagating subjects that make up our universe. Who can better discuss the debate between evolution and creation? The philosopher. From theological conceptions to philosophical investigations to secientific facts; the philosopher provides the rational path for a meaningful dicsussion take place, without violence.
