You missed my point- I can program it to give a desired result especially if I have a known result.
Trust me on this- no computer program is anything more than what the programmers put into it.

I can program it to give a desired result especially if I have a known result. Maybe, if you fudged the starting point, or the rate of mutation, or the rate of migration. But to make a model consistent with all known factors, and end up with something consistent with the diversity we now see, tells us that you can get from there to here in a manner that makes biological sense. That's not just a worthless model.
