If the universe was fine tuned for our life...

The triple alpha process is not an example of emergent complexity. You're just substituting 'emergent complexity' for life as the MacGuffin because it's less well understood than the use of life in the argument.

You have experience of realities coming into existence? You're spinning word salads. You're referring to simulations which are intentionally created to be similar.

My previous thread on the appearance of design answers your entire argument. Your argument is a trivial result when properly understood. Either design is the product of intellect, which is the result of natural processes (evolution), and so is an example of sub-realities being created by a natural process, or it's not. Big whoop.
