I agree that religion will never die. As much as mankind wants to promote open-mindedness, most parents will raise their children in their set of beliefs. I think that when it comes to religion (Catholicism for example, as you mentioned above), any questioning or deviation from a literal translation will result in the church chastising you. Many things clearly don't make sense. If Adam and Eve were the first human, did Eve have sex with her sons to procreate, thus committing incest? Did Noah really fit 2 of every animal on a boat, letting everyone else die before his very eyes, and then commit incest with his family to ensure the survival of humanity? Can people really come back from the dead? There are just too many holes, I completely agree with you.
I also agree that faith is blind, but that is by design and definition. It doesn't make much sense to believe on something that has no proof (in general), but to each his own.
