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.

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.
