The funny thing is that whatever possible apparent designer there can be evidence of the one type of designer that there definitely isn't any evidence of is a designer 'outside the universe' which is precisely the kind of designer that is being claimed. An unapparent designer cannot be apparent just as there can be no evidence of anything that can't be evident to an observer in the natural world.

Since the universe is fine-tuned and had a beginning the Designer/Creator transcends the universe/space/time.

So basically everything needs a cause except for a supernatural deity because you say so?

Yup, neither of those things have been demonstrated.

Fine tuning is particularly funny to me because it suggests God went through two "design" stages. The first one was to sabotage himself so badly that he could only receive the results he wanted in one particular way. Even then, he could still only just succeed in the most marginal way possible (life being able to exist in virtually 0% of the environment created for it).

Oh Oh... careful... that's theology. We don't wanna talk about that in this thread, remember?

Oh I have dignity, just not the type that some Internet troll can affect with their nonsense.  Following of Richard Dawkins lead to ridicule and mock believers, I get it.

The whole so-called 'argument' just stems from an incoherent premise. The idea that the beginning of anything existing at all the way it does could be 'improbable'.

The anthropic principle deals with it easily. If only 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.01% of possible worlds can have life in them then we're clearly in that possible world. That's not improbable... that's certain.
