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.
Hate to spoil the fun, but according to many Christians, this is exactly their belief. Jesus has always been both man and God.
That said, I agree with you, it's all special pleading at the end of the day.
But, if you listen to Craig, god "changed", irrevocably, when he became Man, and yet, god waited an actual infinite to do just that. The "virgin birth," per people like Craig, happened only one time.
