The 'fine-tuning problem' isn't an actual problem that needs a solution.

The question is pre-supposionist. Fine tuned for what? Fine tuned for us?

There is no reason for 'us'. We are the product of evolution - a blind algorithmic process.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
