knowledge through revealation

Knowledge through revelation(divine or otherwise) that is, not through reasoning is problematic. If two persons claim to have acquired knowledge through revelation and claim that their knowledge is beyond reason and if they are contradictory, we cant say which one is true. It becomes necessary to admit multiplicity of truth if we take these reveled truths seriously. According to bible universe is incredibly new and according to Hindu scriptures its incredibly old. Now even a kid can tell you both cant be true. This is a very elementary objection but no one cares to explain it. But we cant escape this with a world having 7 billion minds- all vulnerable to revelations, it becomes impossible to discern whats a gospel truth and whats a blatant lie.

It is wrongly argued that intuition is the ultimate source of all knowledge and therefore revelation is any way important. A proposition is not true or false unless its proven to be so through reason, before application of reason that proposition is a mere proposition without any known truth value. So it might be that Einstein had a sudden intuition of relativity and he then set out to prove that intuition through mathematical formulas. But so what? He must also have had wrong intuitions of all kinds. Once the theory is proved the source of the knowledge just doesn't matter it might be revelation or a random guess or a crazy computer program. At any rate its hard to believe that any revelation is sudden, its not sudden there always are psychical precedents to it, if at all einstein had any intuition than it must have preceded by proper understanding of relevant concepts of physics and all the relevant data might have undergone a subconscious gestation ultimately culminating in a conscious intuition. So a sudden Eureka is never a sudden Eureka.
