Does complexity actually imply the lack of a creator?

Namely, that a Universe which appears fine tuned, where changing one parameter very little leads to catastrophe, should not be a sign for a creator, as is often claimed, but the opposite. It is precisely the kind of universe which one would observe if, by default, universes are hostile, and there has been a fluctuation towards barely livable. People have worked this out in multiverse scenarios and obtain the result that one should find onesolf on the edge of catastrophes in anthropically selected universes. A created universe on the other hand, should not be on the edge of catastrophe as far as its parameters of basic laws are concerned. Maybe, that's in a similar vein as your post.
That's spot on. Thanks!
