And how did you determine the probability of 'D' again? Please don't tell me by applying a thought experiment in which the universal other constants could have varied widely and have no relationship to each , because we definitely don't know that's the case. It's just an assumption. How did you eliminate the possibility that it's necessity, not chance? How did you eliminate the possibility that the actual ranges of values are very narrow?

D assumes the constants are not brute facts...that is they could have varied widely.

E assumes they could not vary widely....that they are brute facts.

For the most part your criticism fails because I do consider both situations. If you want to know why I reject both....see the OP.

How do I know its not a narrow range? Physics suggests it is not and that in fact the range is quite large. I don't know what else to tell you. Should I not rely on physics here?

It's like looking at a glass of water and claim the water was perfectly designed to fit the glass Facepalm

Negative LastPoet.

Its more like looking at a glass and claiming it was perfectly designed to hold water.
