On the ‘fine tuning’ thingy, have you considered that it could simply be a happy accident? Suppose the universe evolved to support life incidentally. . It’s a logical leap to presume that it was intentional.

Scientists have dismissed the happy accident theory which is why multiverse is popular. If someone flipped a coin heads 500 times in a row would you be dumb enough to conclude it was a lucky break?

Fine, you're a multiverse person. Most atheists aren't willing to concede the multiverse theory is necessary and because there is no direct evidence of other universes. I respect it as a plausible theory and an explanation for fine-tuning of the universe for life. However, it also multiplies entities to infinity and beyond ala Occams razor. I consider it the ultimate time and chance, naturalism in the gaps theory.
I thing you’re looking at it wrong. If you flip a coin 500 times, you can expect roughly half heads and half tails. If you could flip it an infinite number of times, you could expect it to land on edge, or explode, or turn into a polka dot dolphin and fly away.
The multiverse simply doesn’t support design or deliberate creation.
