Art/Literary - Religion / Creation vs. Evolution
English term or phrase: have been tried and tested for centuries
These matters are quietly put to one side before the juggernaut of evolutionary prejudice. But the sacred records live on, and humble minds should never put the Scriptures aside lightly when they ***have been tried and tested for centuries***. The old records are corroborated by other ancient evidence and it is foolish and arrogant thinking which assumes that truth was never known in the past.

Explanation:
I don't want to get in the cration vs. evolution argument, but just to mention that the idiom "tried and tested" is used not only to refer to something valid, that works, but also, perhaps even more often, to refer to something invalid that does not work.
