I think that scientists and philosophers both would disagree with your appraisal in this regard.
That there is a God who created the finely tuned Universe is, and always will be, a possibility; problem is that such a proposition is an inherently untestable hypothesis, and as other naturalistic explanations (multiverse) exist, via Occam's Razor (the scientific principle of parsimony), the naturalistic models (which are testable) are to be preferred.
