RE: The fine tuning argument

So the basic problem is why are the laws the way they are.

I googled fine tuning it and the answers I recieved were the usual multiverse with random fluctuations etc.

Could it be that the laws HAVE to be this way for some reason? and that the possible fluctuations are incompatable with how reality works.

What I'm asking is what non-deistic mechanism can set the laws of nature?

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
