Would this make Buddhism the correct religion?

They're atheist, so you'd have a fair old task resolving his message against their philosophy.

I made this point to a friend of mine. Extreme butthurt ensued as I lol'd heavily.
Edit: I asked why he believes in God and stuff, and one of the main reasons he made was somewhere along the lines of well the bible is so old or some shit that it must be true. And yeah..

A friend of mine tried to say that one of the main reasons he's a believer is because the bible is so old that it must be true. I told him Buddhism is older than his bible.

How are Buddhist atheists? Sure Those into Jesus or Islam will say that but does not make it so.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a traditional Buddhist would not believe in a God. They would not believe the universe was created. Nor a beginning of time. They realise that on a certain level, at least in some sense, that the universe does not even exist.
It has been explained here before quite well, and if I have misinterpreted then as I say, you can correct me.

Buddha would consider your point irrelevant. In fact Buddha considered the origins of the universe is irrelevant. For instance

In the eyes of the Buddha, the world is the cycle of repeated births and deaths. To Him, the beginning of the world and the end of the world is ...Just IS.
Since elements and energies are relative and inter-dependent, it is meaningless to single out anything as the beginning. Whatever speculation we make regarding the origin of the world, there is no absolute truth in our notion.
'Infinite is the sky, infinite is the number of beings,
Infinite are the worlds in the vast universe,
Infinite in wisdom the Buddha teaches these,
Infinite are the virtues of Him who teaches these.
Then the Buddha said that He would not go into a discussion of the origin of the Universe. To Him, gaining knowledge about such matters was a waste of time because a man's task was to liberate himself from the present, not the past or the future.
