Best Answer

Either reason or revelation can be regarded as more superior depending on your terms of reference and your definition of 'superior'.

To a highly religious person, revelation is inherently superior, as it comes from God. If reason conflicts with revelation, there must necessarily be something wrong with the reasoning. To this person, reason is only a stumbling block to be overcome.


Others believe that reason is superior because reason is more provable. Many religious persons believe that reason can support their religious beliefs in a way that supposed revelation never could. Others say that reason is superior because it can be used to disprove the existence of God and therefore of revelation. The problem with reason is that we are usually not very good at it, and poor reasoning can lead to poor outcomes.

They are not exclusive to each other. One could say that revelation based on reason would be superior to either by themselves.
