Fine tuned for black holes. So there must be a god of black holes. Now that's cool!
But as far as I can tell, the fine tuning argument argues for a god that is not omnipotent. If the god was omnipotent, he would not have to fine tune the universe for life, he would have been able to create life within a universe that shouldn't be able to support life.
If he could only create life in this universe, then he is limited to creating life in only a universe with these attributes.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
