I believe the physicist Victor Stenger has made that claim, or one similar in his debate with William Lane Craig. As I recall, Craig often makes that claim in his debates, that the values of the various constants are "so improbable that they demand an explanation, and a benevolent God whom made them as they are is more plausible than any naturalistic account". That's not exactly a direct quote from Craig, but is something like what he usually says.
I know that Stenger wrote a book on the topic - The Fallacy of Fine-Tuning - How the Universe is Not Designed for Us - but I haven't read it, and I hear it's a bit technical. Might pick it up from Amazon soon. Any of you read it before?
