Actually, whatever is behind the non-deterministic nature of quantum uncertainty, it cannot be “completely random.” Yes, individual events, of course, are completely unpredictable, but these effects average out in very predictable ways. Why is “behind it all” imposing this averaging?

Nobody knows.

Granville is an expert at mathematics and simulation on computers. All of us reading it with any similar experience or expertise even much less than Granville’s knew it was tongue-in-cheek just from the second paragraph. His only mistake was overestimating the computer literacy of people who might chance to read it. It evidently didn’t occur to him anyone would fail to realize it was a work of fiction. I was a bit surprised myself.

It honestly didn’t even occur to me that anyone would think I was trying to pass this “thought-experiment” off as non-fiction, certainly not anyone who read the whole post. But I guess some people didn’t read past the fold. And I didn’t file under humor because I didn’t consider it to be humorous.

I thought it was humorous, in a sarcastic sort of way.

My friend said, let me see your
program. After examining it, he exclaimed, no wonder, you treated the
Earth as a closed system, order can’t increase in a closed system. The
Earth is an open system, you need to take into account the effect of the
sun’s energy.

This still isn’t open enough. There is no reason the earth must be considered a closed system Biologically either:
Allow for bacteria and viruses to arrive from space, with preloaded (“frontloaded” if you will) DNA programs, and see what you get. Us, possibly.
