This is because if we look at a chain of causation (essential, not temporal), in order to avoid infinite regress, we follow the chain back to one thing that is required to have always been the case, in order for anything else to be the case.But what do you think of it? How can he/she be uncaused if she/he is fine tuned?

I don't understand what you mean when you say God is "fine tuned."
I've heard people say that the universe is "fine tuned" for life. I don't really accept that view.
What is circular regress?
