The paper: ftp://ftp.idsia.ch/pub/juergen/everything.pdf

I'll let Juergen Schmidhuber explain this one:

The universe is deterministic, and the most efficient program that computes its entire history is short and fast, which means there is little room for true randomness, which is very expensive to compute. What looks random must be pseudorandom, like the decimal expansion of Pi, which is computable by a short program. Many physicists disagree, but Einstein was right: no dice.
There is no physical evidence to the contrary (see Don't forget randomness is still just a hypothesis).
For example, Bell’s theorem does not contradict this. And any efficient search in program space for the solution to a sufficiently complex problem will create many deterministic universes like ours as a by-product. Think about this.
See Computable Universes & Algorithmic Theory of Everything: The Computational Multiverse and the talk here http://www.kurzweilai.net/in-the-beginning-was-the-code
