First of all, fine-tuning is BS, plain and simple. Life as we know it on this planet (one planet in one solar system in one galaxy in the effectively infinite observable universe) exists due to a series of factors, all of which have considerable "maneuvering room", if you will. "Extremophiles", as they are known, are proof of this. Besides, even if fine-tuning were real, that doesn't give credit to interpretations of a system of definitions like mathematics any more than the existence of fairies would. It's a non-sequitur.

(I say the universe is "effectively infinite" because, with our lifespans, it might as well be. It's impossible for any one of us to see the entire observable universe. Even as a species, if we had ships that could travel at the speed of light without being subjected to relativistic effects, we wouldn't even get to see our own galaxy in its totality before many generations had passed, let alone the billions upon billions of galaxies that we can see from our corner of the universe)

Ontological arguments don't make for good arguments. You can't define things into existence. So, yes, you could say that logic is a system of definitions (they're still based upon observations, FYI, since it is impossible for us to conceive of something we have not, at least in part, experienced or witnessed), but then you'd have to throw it out the window as unreliable.
