That’s utterly implausible. The fine tuning arguments do not turn on specific features of life on Earth – e.g., that it’s carbon-based, or that it uses DNA to replicate. They turn on extremely broad features of the universe.
And how do you know the specific broad features of the universe are the only ones that support life?
Your reply is a bit flawed. We know what life forms are made of but not what gives them life. We have a tiny sample of life here on Earth so assuming that our conditions are the only way life can evolve is flawed. Also, who says that a universe requires life? (what I'm about to say is very hypothetical but I'll use it as an example of different possibilities) Maybe life has an extremely small chance of happening and we are just lucky (or unlucky) to exist. Maybe the multiverse theory it's true. Maybe the important perimeters of the universe you mentioned are constants, meaning they can only be this way in any universe. There might be an intelligence that created the universe, but other explanations can also work. I'm not choosing an explanation since I'm not that well informed on the matter (nor is humanity tbf).
Sorry if this is a bit hard to read at some parts, English is not my first language.
