"Do you believe metaphor or language to be primary or fundamental to logic? Not the "usage" of logic, but logic itself." Logic is utilized by humans within the framework of Language. Logic describes the framework of Language very well. Does logic have an existence outside of Language? I don't know. Can Language have an existence without the Logic it follows? I don't know. I do not see humanity as First Cause. I do not know First Causes. Is there a best methodology to describe First Causes? Perhaps. Is metaphor or logic better to describe first causes? I don't know. Did Logic Exist before Humans? I don't know. Did metaphor/language exist before humans? I don't know. Does this help?
