Because an all-powerful being would not be so constrained as to be forced to "fine-tune" anything. But it does raise an interesting question- if the creator was so exacting in his design of the universe and the laws of physics, why did he do such a colossally awful job when it came to making sentient beings?
Good point. A universe in which life can exist naturally is the only kind of universe where an omnipotent being needs to be brought in to explain the existence of life. An omnipotent being could have us living anywhere it wanted and our ability to survive would be a profound mystery. Instead, we live only in places conducive to life.
If God, even the weak anthropic principle no longer applies.

Raises some good point and makes me wonder why atheists reject the fine tuning of the universe. There's even an article by Dr. Kaku on the fine tuning of the universe titled "The Paradox of Multiple Goldilocks Zones or "Did the Universe Know We Were Coming?" on bigthink.
So, do you still think this is a question that's hard for atheists to answer?
