Philosopher, rationalist(materialist) and theologian(theist)

I will try to bring my open opinion on the topic. Who are rationalists, theists, and true philosophers? 

 

Theists are those who have complete faith in non-physical things. They believe in religious beliefs, other spiritual practices, and sometimes even superstitions. Their boundaries are very narrow, and they always give priority to their personal beliefs. According to them, science is a blatant lie. It is a subject created to destroy lives by removing people from their spiritual self. They constantly believe that their religion and religious thought are the only truth. They see those who hold opinions outside that view as fools. 
 

The Origin and Evolution of Theists 

When humans organized themselves politically, the main problem that arose was who should hold power. Accordingly, the center of power in the past was often someone who had the blessing of God or someone they recognized as the son of God (often belonging to the royal family). The king or ruler ruled the country by imposing the necessary laws and regulations using his divine mandate. The subjects sometimes do not raise their voices even when their rights are violated because of the blind belief that their ruler was sent by God. 

Some religious philosophies may seem self-sufficient in this view. 
These religions are built on beliefs. Thinking beyond beliefs is a crime according to royal law. A group of great men emerged in Europe in the past, posing a serious challenge to theists. They questioned religious beliefs. They began to look at life beyond God with open eyes. Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates led this group, and their rise was a direct challenge to the theistic rulers. The world developed rapidly after the industrial revolution, putting science and technology within the reach of even ordinary people. Accordingly, man turned to looking at everything through the scientific method and finding solutions. 
 

There are also people who hold strong opinions in this field. They are called materialists or rationalists. According to them, nothing can exist that is not proven by science. They firmly believe that the world is made up of scientific reasons alone. The attack on rationalists comes from the advances in physics itself. They are attacked by the non-dualistic thinking of quantum physics for their downfall. 
 

Quantum thinking and Philosopher 

Both of these groups are extremes on the number line, at positive and negative infinity. A person should look at anything and seek the answer from a central point (zero). Preconceived notions take you beyond reality. Only a philosopher can see the closest thing to reality. Middle-ground thinking is difficult because it always ends without a conclusion. For example, a strong belief in whether there will be a rebirth after death can lead you to extremes. Then the philosopher must think in the middle between the two extremes of yes and no. He must examine the facts from the middle. Otherwise, reality will be missed. This thinking is non-dual, non-rational thinking. Logic has no middle ground. Logic constantly seeks one of the two extremes of yes or no. Logic is not valid for being in the middle. Those who seek truth must go with middle thinking. Logic will lead you to some extreme or other.
