I fail to see how Goldilocks conditions at the galactic or local levels are any indication of tinkering. That we are here means that the necessary conditions are here to permit it. That is neither evidence of fine tuning nor of random luck. It is just unsurprisingly necessary.
The universe is so hospitable to life that it's miraculous and so hostile to life that earth being hospitable to life is miraculous.
