You'd have better luck trying to convince people that a small percentage of surface area on the earth is somewhat tuned to allow for life.

Yes, if it were specifically designed for life, I'd expect it to be more of a land of milk and honey, and less of a death trap. Still, it could be much worse. It seems to be just on the edge of what is needed for intelligent life. This fact which is usually called fine tuning, is really evidence against design when you think about it, because it is precisely what to expect from athropic selection...
