Robin Collins and other fine-tuning theorists argue that the extreme precision of cosmological constants itself constitutes evidence of a gap between what unguided physics could deliver and what we observe.

Cosmological constants(the physical values that are said to be precisely tuned): The fundamental numbers that describe how the universe behaves, like the strength of gravity or the expansion rate of the universe.
Evidence of a gap(the logical structure of the fine-tuning argument): Signs that there's a meaningful difference between what we'd expect to happen by accident and what we actually observe.
Robin Collins(named as a key figure in the fine-tuning debate): A contemporary philosopher known for arguing that the fine-tuning of the universe (how precisely calibrated physical constants need to be for life to exist) provides evidence for God's existence.
Unguided physics(what the argument contrasts with the observed precision): The idea that physical processes happen randomly or by pure chance, without any intentional direction or purpose behind them.
fine-tuning(Philosophy of religion / cosmology): The fact that a number of apparently independent physical parameters have values that, while not fixed by current physical theory, fall within a relatively narrow life-permitting range assuming no changes to other parameters
