OK here are a coupleDespite this assertion, the probability space is not known. The post hoc view you quote is irrelevant. If you don't understand that, find a credible source which says otherwise.
The Fine-Tuning of the Universe for Intelligent Life
The fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life has received a great deal of attention in recent years, both in the philosophical and scientific literature. The claim is that in the space of possible physical laws, parameters and initial conditions, the set that permits the evolution of intelligent life is very small. I present here a review of the scientific literature, outlining cases of fine-tuning in the classic works of Carter, Carr and Rees, and Barrow and Tipler, as well as more recent work.

Studies confirm the fine tuning of the cosmological constant. This is something most mainstream scientists support as it helps solve the problem of the missing matter in the universe that holds everything in place. Yet it has to be unbelievably fine tuned beyond the point of a chance happening.

Leonard Susskind is a famous mainstream physicist and he writes about how the setting of the cosmological constant with quantum fluctuations within the first split seconds of the big bang had to be very precise otherwise we would not have the universe we have today.
"To make the first 119 decimal places of the vacuum energy zero is most certainly no accident."
“Logically, it is possible that the laws of physics conspire to create an almost but not quite perfect cancellation [of the energy involved in the quantum fluctuations]. But then it would be an extraordinary coincidence that that level of cancellation—119 powers of ten, after all—just happened by chance to be what is needed to bring about a universe fit for life. How much chance can we buy in scientific explanation? One measure of what is involved can be given in terms of coin flipping: odds of 10^120 to one is like getting heads no fewer than four hundred times in a row. if the existence of life in the universe is completely independent of the big fix mechanism—if it’s just a coincidence—then those are the odds against our being here. That level of flukiness seems too much to swallow.”
Even Stephen Hawkins acknowledges the fine tuning of life.
Stephen Hawking writes in A Brief History of Time, p. 125:
"The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers (i.e. the constants of physics) seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life" (p. 125)
Fair enough. Do you think something like a protein could have specified info in that it has very precise folds.That's a lot of noise avoiding the issue: There is no such thing as specified complexity.
