While modeling is used with helpful results that inform planning, projections, and computer applications in business, science and elsewhere, they are nearly useless for guidance about real world, biological phenomena. So called global climate change is a prime example. The track record for the thousands of computer simulations, based on models, that have been created over the last 4 decades is 100% failure. Models are useful when the inputs, variables, and math formulas are...
