If there is a god and if it is an unconstrained god, any world other than this in which we found ourselves would still represent just one of infinite possibilities available to god. An infinite number of those possible worlds would presumably have phenomena which appeared to its human inhabitants as 'natural laws', would involve lengthy pre-human histories just like ours, and would also suffer from divine hiddenness. And regardless of what kind of world was created, if God maintained hidden, we would remain at a loss as to what motivated his design and would remain therefore unable to infer anything from any of the world's attributes; unable to determine whether or not design had played a role at all.

In this sense, whicheverWhichever world in which we found ourselves would always seem incredibly 'unlikely'. We would still find ourselves in one particular world with no reason to account for why the world was created in that particular way (unless through divine revelation of some sort).

From this perspective, it is difficult to see how an argument from unconstrained possibilities might be successful.
