Ancient nonsense is still nonsense. You're making an argument from tradition, a logical fallacy. The duration or quantity of writings on a topic have zero relevance on its truth.
The Muslims have 1,500 years or so of written testimony.
The ancient Egyptians had at least as much written "testimony" as any religion around.
The Mormons have a paltry 180 years, but in another 1320 years, they too will also have 1,500 years of testimony. Does that make Mormon bullshit any more true? Nope, it does not.
Christianity has nothing more concrete to offer than belief in Ra, Anubis, Allah or Moroni.
