In his 2014 debate with Sean Carroll, Craig states the following:

What can't the same observation be made about the supposed Incarnation? If god existed from "eternity past", as Craig claims, why didn't the Incarnation occur in "eternity past," also? It seems like special pleading to suggest otherwise.
Quote:Dr. Carroll does hold out hope that quantum cosmology might serve to restore the past eternality of the universe; but I would say that not only is there no evidence for such a hope, but I would agree with Vilenkin that if there is a quantum gravity regime prior to the Planck Time, then that just is the beginning of the universe. Dr. Carroll says you can have quantum descriptions of the universe that are eternal, and that is certainly true, but the question is: why would the universe transition to classical spacetime just 13 billion years ago? It could not have existed from infinity past in an unstable quantum state and then just 13 billion years ago transition to classical spacetime. It would have done it from eternity past, if at all.
