Man, that's a pretty ridiculous line of logic. Ignoring the fact that science and math had already progressed significantly before the time Christ would have been alive (see ancient Greece)... this logic is like still clinging to the geocentric model because they thought of it before modern science. That doesn't make sense. It just isn't a good reason to believe something. Unless you really just don't care what is true, and in that case I suppose you can get yourself to believe literally anything.
You know if it hadn't been for the advent of the printing press and the rulers of the world's inclination to support it, Christianity would have died long ago just like any other of the thousands of religions that have existed, right? Do you think the Epic of Gilgamesh is equally as valid of a truth as the Bible? It does include earlier versions of the exact same stories included in the Old Testament, like the Flood, despite being written thousands of years earlier. Why isn't the Epic "the Authority" instead of the Bible?
