To scoff at ideas merely as "ancient" doesn't deal with the idea itself. Neither does it exercise any intellect. It supposes that because we are further down the corridors of time that we are inherently smarter. This is nothing other than "chronological snobbery" as C.S. Lewis has coined the term. Really, it is no argument at all.
BTW, I wonder if Lewis was piggy backing on Chesterton.
