Good discussion.

To your last point, the universe is a closed system. No known energy enters or leaves the universe. Picking a planet (i.e. Earth) is not a sufficient argument. That would mean that the universe would have to know that it would take up the rest of the slack to compensate for the increased organization and would further need to know the quantity to compensate for it.

To the point of God, it is not evolution if it is written in our genetic code, it is adaptation. Last month (or the previous month) of Scientific American, there was an article that talked about how our DNA was structured in a way that foster evolution. Again, an instances of an argument where knowledge of the end result was required.

Last point, God does not have any unexpected outcomes. If it were unexpected, he would not be God.

BTW, I just looked up your name...extinct ground sloth?

Yep, giant ground sloth.
