And consider also the history. Do you really expect an institution that's been accused for centuries of obstructing science and free intellectual inquiry should simply reject two centuries of research and scholarship out of hand? Do you really think that would make for a better world or a better understanding of religion? Do you really think that Judaism or Christianity have always been hostile to scientific inquiry and scholarly investigation?

What does Catholicism say about the well-known scientific fact that dead people don't come back to life or that virgins don't have babies?

I suppose we need a couple more centuries of "research" and "scholarship" to get there, eh?

I also get that you thought that you had found some kind of primeval, ur-alt, original religion in Catholicism and then you came upon something even older, something so old that you assumed it couldn't be refuted (ignoring the fact that it couldn't be proved, either).

It has been proven. The fact that you choose to identify the world's only self-vindicating claim of religious revelation as just another exercise of "blind faith" is your problem.

What does the third book of Kings 17:17-24 say about dead people coming back to life?

And what does Isaias 7:14-15 say about virgin births?
