Religion is precisely defined as belief in One God Who
created human beings, the most intelligent of all creations. God being the
Highest Wisdom shares only a fraction of His wisdom to human beings. Such
sharing is however remarkably uneven for people at the receiving end. For
example, blest with divine wisdom some become wise philosophers like Aristotle
with brilliant reasoning power while many others become mentally retarded with
near ‘0’ IQ.
Thus religion comes first and foremost and reason is a subordinate
follower. With limited reasoning power, human beings cannot grasp the mysteries
of God (the central figure of religion), for example how He manages to exist
forever, with no beginning and ending date. Human beings will therefore look
smart like the two most renowned scientists namely Newton and Einstein if they
first believe in the basics of religion e.g. God as the Creator, only to find
later that many provisions of God are based on reasoning and rationality.
