Well, Bill Craig has always loved syllogisms, because they are simple, easy to understand, and it is very easy to make them look valid and logically water tight, even though they quite often aren't.
It doesn't take a minute to propose a syllogism such as the the kalam cosmological argument, but it takes quite some time to refute it and explain why it is incoherent.
I don't think that Bill Craig is getting old at all - he is just an expert at exploiting the format of a formal debate, and syllogisms are great for making an effective gish gallop.
