In my work as a software engineer in aerospace R&D I use what is arguably the most sophisticated, universally applicable, finite-element analysis program ever devised by the most brilliant people in field, refined and tested for 35 years since its inception in the mid-1970s for the development of variable-yield nuclear weapons at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It is called LS-DYNA (LS for Livermore Software, and DYNA for the evaluation of dynamic, nonlinear, transient systems).
A finite element is an attempt to descretize on a macro level what occurs at a molecular level in a physical system, so that a result is amenable to a practical computational solution. The learning curve for the use of this sophisticated technology is extremely steep, and the most important thing one learns is that empirical verification of the simulation results is absolutely required to validate the predictions of any FEA model.
In an LS-DYNA simulation, all the laws of physics and the mathematics that describe them are precisely known. In addition, all of the material properties associated with the physical objects are precisely quantified with empirical verification (density, modulus of elasticity, and much more).
The FEA solver computes a physical result by solving millions of differential equations with a minimal integration time step based on the time required for a disturbance traveling at the speed of sound to traverse the smallest finite element with the greatest mass density.
Even with all of this, and countless man-years of experience by sophisticated and experienced users (LS-DYNA has been used for many years in the auto industry for simulating car crashes) empirical verification is always required, by actually crashing a car to validate the FEA results.
In light of all this, consider the typical Darwinian computer simulation and the trust that could be put in one.
Darwinian computer simulations are simply a pathetic joke as they relate to biological reality. This should be obvious to anyone with experience in the field of legitimate computer simulation.
