The nuclear force that binds together the elements in the nucleus of an atom has a value of 0.007.

The nuclear force that binds together the elements in the nucleus of an atom has a value of 0.007. If that value had been 0.006 or less, the Universe would have contained nothing but hydrogen. If it had been 0.008 or higher, the hydrogen would have fused to make heavier elements. In either case, any kind of chemical complexity would have been physically impossible. And without chemical complexity there can be no life.
