An appeal to the multiverse is where nontheists have gone in their attempt to escape God but it’s just a metaphysical speculation that would requires trillions of universes to duplicate the delicate fine-tuning this one required for advanced life just in the first nanosecond.

If there were a possibility of more than one universe, what makes you think there would not be an infinite number of universes? What would be the the 'limiting' factor for a finite number of universes?
And if there were a god, how can you think that us piddling little humans is enough to entertain it? If it could create one universe, then it could create more than one, so theist or non-theist, it is possible that there are "many worlds" and there would be no limiting factor.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
