If the universe were not something in which life can exist, we would not be here commenting on it. So, discussion of this “fine tuning” is a waste of time. Supposing there are alternate universes is stupid too — there is no possible way to prove or disprove that they exist.

The fine-tuning of the universe for the existence of life is fascinating to me.

If it (the universe) weren't fine-tuned for life, then we would hardly be here to lament the fact.

There is no reason to "marvel" at the fine-tuning of the universe; the Anthropic Principle makes that abundantly clear.
