There is something which is true and exists beyond observation of mankind, stay behind the order in the nature. They insist because of that, therefore the appearance world is consistency and orderly. Besides this, the success of scientific practice is in this regard. This article reviews how the scientific realists explained natural phenomena and the ideas of scientific realist famous scientists such as Newton, Einstein and Darwin. This article also provides ideas to conduct scientific realism into science teaching and learning.
