To begin with.
As all scientific researchers know, the Ockam Razor, is a "tip and trick", not a sooo bad one (cos Nature is parsimonious and so should us be).
But not a scientific criteria.
Read, please (historically documented), whith what was Willy of Ockham debating.
"Fine tunning" Argument is the glorification of a logical fallacy.
It a priori assumes that there is a Purpose (backwards causality) and intent to use it to prove...that there is an a priori Purpose. Petitio Principii.
Please note that causality do not "moves" backwards.
It also implies a bad (BAD) conception of what Randomness is, and a bad (BAD) knowledge of the use of probability.
If some explanation about this is needed, I´m available, while prepairing more coffee.

@Speedyman Not at all.
It would be enough to avoid medieval weak word-based rethorics (calling it Logic and "rationallity").
And to find thuth in the facts.
Factual evidence and the logic of causality, what scientists use and ID is in complete lack.
And, mostly, to also avoid the fraud of calling Science to what is mere Platonism / Aristotelism / Scholasticism.
