Development of Science

According Jujun Suriasumantri, science today has grown to about 650 branches. In addition to the existing empowerment among the natural sciences or natural sciences with social sciences, also known as the distinction of science and applied science. The rapid advancement of science, according to Chalmers, is expected since 400 years ago, that since Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and the more obvious since Francis Bacon in the 15th century and 16 as a philosopher of science that suggests the need for a method of studying the experience . Bacon emphasized that intensive experiments and observations are the foundation for the development of science. [39]
The facts above menunukkan that the development of science can not be separated from the large curiosity accompanied by efforts earnest through reasoning, experimentation, refinement, and high risk-taking resulting in discoveries that benefit a generation and a consideration of reference for the next generation to correct, enhance, develop, and further discoveries. Factors which later became boosters for the rapid development of the science behind the rapid discoveries in the field of technology that sometimes make some people complacent therefore so do not realize that some of the science being abused can be a serious threat to their lives.
An important point to note here is the rapid development of science must be balanced with the moral-spiritual human development, because as we know, the development of science in addition to have a positive impact, it is also a negative impact on human life. Positive impact is further facilitate human life, while the negative effects are increasingly threatening their lives. Therefore, in order that the order of human life in this world remain sustainable, it must be accompanied by the development of the science of moral-spiritual development of man himself. The development of science without moral-spiritual development can be a threat to human life as we can feel lately in the form of misuse of nuclear technology. Similarly, the moral-spiritual development without the accompaniment of the development of science can make some people less creative as happened in Christian Europe in the dark ages. In other words, between the brain and the liver should get an equal share of attention. History has proved it. History is a discipline that has a higher validity of truth that deserve to be material to take lessons (‘ibrah)
