To exclaim "Oh, yeah right - not likely" isn't quite the same thing as claiming it is false. In general, your shit is bullshit if you're talking about shit no one can see, touch or measure and you take no responsibility for establishing its bonafides.
No that is the argument from incredulity. I was talking about the reasoning of because it's old which was in response to "considering the age of the book of mythology".
Now if you are not trying to make a case against the thing thing in question, but just commenting on your subjective mental state that is fine.

HA HA HA HA that's rich coming from you. Look in the mirror buddy. Men popping out of dirt, women popping out of ribs, talking donkeys, talking bushes, talking snakes, magic babies with super powers and claims of zombie gods.
