Hundreds of Computer Generated Studies Have Been Published in Respected Scientific Journals

Hi Shannon
This is something about science that I found very surprising many years ago, 1st revealed to me when studying in the post grad labs at U of Waterloo. Up to then I naively thought a scientific fact was an unquestionable answer. No - not so. To keep up with the advancements and corrections of scientific findings one would have to be continually returning to a lifetime of on going academic studies. Unfortunately what was and is declared as an absolute scientific fact was and is based on in part erroneous input from the former accepted finding. However, through all this, what I call trial and error, that we do slowly, very slowly progress to unveil the mysteries of the universe. Many years later I found my experiences were to be shared with two allopathic medical doctors, who independent of each other, were up front enough when attending their seminars to say that 50% of what they were taught at med school as gospel 20 - 30 years prior, had been proven to be absolutely wrong.
It certainly supports the comments, "the more we learn the more we realize how little we know".
