In fact it is so well established that the multiverse theory was dreamed up to account for it!!

Sean Carroll seems to disagree completely. However, for the sake of argument, let's grant that the universe is indeed finely tuned. Even if this is the case, we're not one step closer to demonstrating that any deity exists. All we've done is show that the universe was fine-tuned by something. That something could be a million different things. What makes you think a god is a more likely fine-tuner?
