We know the world is fine tuned for human life. Many atheists consider it the best argument for God. It’s why they propose the multiverse as an alternative explanation (which is obviously super dumb).
One argument against Christianity is the argument from justice - if salvation depends on Christ, and not all have the opportunity to hear about Christ, then that’s not just, therefore Christianity isn’t true
However we know that God is all just and all good. And we know that god desires that all might be saved - 1 Timothy 2:4
If the universe is fine tuned for human life, is it really that much of a jump to suppose that the universe is also fine tuned for salvation? That everyone has the grace he or she needs to be saved? You will be judged according to a perfect standard - If you’re reading this article then you’ll be judged by a higher standard than a 12th century Japanese peasant.
What are the odds of such a fine tuning, that everyone has enough grace to choose to align with goodness or reject it? Well, if the universe is fine-tuned naturally then we should also expect it to be fine-tuned supernaturally.
You can also apply this to miracles. Miracles occur just enough so that belief is optional but not mandatory, in order to preserve our free will. Just enough so that those who search will find (Matthew 7:7-8) but such that it is hidden from the so-called wise (Matthew 11:25).
