How do you square that with your 0,001% of chance on survival?

One tiny grain of sand in an almost infinite beach.... very poor fine tuning!

And the majority of that grain of sand is pretty poorly ‘tuned’ for human life. Without very special help, we can’t survive at the highest elevations or underwater or under the ground. Our own star will kill us if we aren’t careful. Large parts of the planet are home to venomous animals and poisonous plants. Volcanoes can kill us from thousands of miles away. 

The piano is grossly out of tune.
