Victor Stenger argues that....."The fine-tuning argument and other recent intelligent design arguments are modern versions of "God of the gaps" reasoning, where a god is deemed necessary whenever science has not fully explained some phenomenon".
The argument from imperfection suggests that if the universe were designed to be fine-tuned for life, it should be the best one possible and evidence suggests that it is not. In fact most of the universe is highly hostile to life.
Additionally Stenger argues, "We have no reason to believe that our kind of carbon-based life is all that is possible. Furthermore modern cosmology indicates that multiple univerises may exist with different constants and laws of physics. So, it is not surprising that we live in the one suited for us. The universe is not fine-tuned to life; life is fine-tuned to the universe".
That is a really great line, no matter which side of the god/no god debate you're on.
