The fine-tuning argument is nothing more than a classic argument from hindsight. Basically, the assumption inherent to the claim is that life as it currently exists is the only possible way in which it could ever exist anywhere.
The reality is that with a different set of parameters, life could have very well arisen in a completely different manner with beings vastly different from us in function and base composition.
Moreover, life is exceptionally flawed. Take humans for example: there is roughly 15% of the earth's surface where we can live and function, our metabolism is woefully inefficient, our instincts are inherently illogical for sentient beings to possess, and we have multiple wastes pieces of biomass which often prove more detrimental than anything.
Nothing about life is fine tuned.

It's a flawed argument because you could take any combination of events in a system that take place in a five minute period, look back at it in hindsight, and apply astronomical odds that those events would have occurred in the specific way that they did.

Yet we have not discovered any. Therefore, the evidence must conclude that we are alone in the universe, which supports my conclusion of intelligent design.
