They are making it up. They are assuming there was some sort of random process involved in "picking" this universe out of a selection. There is no reason to think the universe could have been anything other than what it is.

Also, the numbers they use, and the method, are just pulled out of their ass. It's a massive oversimplification, as usual, of reality.

If you have the name of any particular person or the name of the argument, we can try and look at it more specifically.

Basically, there is nothing in mathematics that represents "God". It has not been demonstrated that a "God" is even possible, so to assign it anything other than a probability of zero is unfounded.
