The question of the so-called "fine-tuning" of the universe and its basic constants is one of the pet arguments of theists. One of the main reasons for it is that there is no obvious explanation

There are essentially four possible explanations:

  • This fine-tuning is highly unlikely in a random possible universe, but God has ensured in his loving wisdom that it is so, so that we can come into being.

  • This fine-tuning is highly unlikely in a random possible universe, but just by luck the one that exists is anthropic.

  • This fine-tuning is highly unlikely in a random possible universe, but there are such a vast number of other
    universes that it is not unlikely that at least one of them is anthropic.

  • There are as yet undiscovered reasons why this fine-tuning is not highly unlikely in a random possible universe.

I agree with the second one. Why? Everything we know about the universe is that its primary fact is that it ts organizing principle is bounded chaos.
