The real problem with the fine tuning argument is that it seeks to slip its conclusion, "the universe was made," into the justification for that conclusion, "the universe was made for life, and the probability...etc etc."
A fine tuned thing requires a goal to be fine tuned toward, and without demonstrating that there's a goal for the universe in which life constitutes a success state, then you can't go on to state that the multitude of possible failure states makes directed creation the most probable solution to the success state.
Basically, the fine tuning argument is that since the universe was made, the probability of the universe not being made is so low, it has to have been made.
