Carrier has stated;Richard's belief, that a lawless single point in space time,spawned the multiverse is based on what? A scientific theory or survival illusion? He presupposes, innumerable unsubstantiated universes, to argue against fine tuning in the known real universe.
I suppose our skills vary when it comes to linguistics. I'm sure we don't always get it right, and maybe meanings are confused in our understanding.
Not only that, but if our language is limited (which Carrier would agree with) then it follows our logic is limited to the same degree our language is.What we call "logic" or the "rules of reason" is actually the structure of what we call language. If a language exists, then by definition logic exists, because without logic you can communicate nothing. It follows then that if you are communicating something, logic exists, for it must be inherent in the very rules that allow the communication to occur.
Additionally, if we are communicating something that we have not experienced (ie "timelessness" "nothing" "multiverses" ) our language could not possibly "code" what has not been fully experienced by our sensory apparatus. Therefore, any related logical /mathematical coding for the purpose of extrapolation would be dubious at best.
Why even attempt to say we have evidence for a mutliverse or "the universe is eternal" or "before all there was, there was nothing"? That is pure philosophy with an attempt to add the language of mathematics as "evidence" for our philosophy.
