I don't think the idea that the universe is finely tuned for life(not necessarily life as we know it) is that unreasonable. I dislike the idea of a creator for the obvious reason that you run into an infinite regression. What created the creator, etc... So how do we get around this? Could it be possible that the universe created itself? In the void, there are infinite possibilities. If there existed a pattern which sustained itself, somehow propagated itself in perpetuity, would it then exist? Then the fact that the universe seems finely tuned for life would be an obvious consequence. Something like us would be needed to tend the light, we would be a necessary component of this pattern. Anyway, I like it better than the idea of a huge number of "dead" universes, although I doubt we'll ever know the Truth of the matter.
