I'm not pushing fairytales or giving any gnostic position more credit than it's due. Simply saying that an unknown is an unknown. And just to use up the rest of my daily Socrates quote allotment, I will add that Socrates said "The only thing I know is I know nothing."
Obviously, Socrates knew something, but he kept his mind open--not to give fairytales consideration--but to ensure that he didn't cut himself off from the truth by forming prejudices.
