This is not very enticing as an idea — that something special happened to have this universe just right — as we really don't know whether there were unsuccessful universes before ours, we don't know what happened before the big bang that created our universe

There could be good reasons we don't know of that forces all the constants to be as they are. The dice could have been cast many times before. We can't know. This idea doesn't help
