Including the ones we see in this universe?
I also, get the feeling, that you are bringing in a number of assumptions to "fine tuning" which aren't necessary.
This universe looks exactly how a universe would look with the properties that would allow life to come about, naturally.
If a god created the universe, the universe could actually have parameters that should not allow life to arise, yet we would still exist. That would be a sign that a god existed.
As far as I can tell, the fine tuning argument argues for a god that is not omni-anything.
For you to claim that the universe is fine tuned by a god, you would have to be able to contrast it with an example of how a universe would look that was not god created. So...go ahead.
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.
