Dr. William Dembski explained, "In other words, the computer programmers built into the simulation what they thought evolution needed to make it work. The validity of this study therefore depends on whether the simulation faithfully models biological reality."<ref>http://www.designinference.com/documents/2003.09.UncDiss_Intro_Contribs.pdf</ref>

Specifically, the goal of such a simulation is to determine whether selective pressures can enhance and direct the evolution of simple features into an organized genetic construct with complex features. The results of the simulation demonstrates that this does, in fact, happen for mathematically modeled systems. This proof of concept is left to be extended by inference to apply to biological systems. From the simulation entry of Wikipedia, a simulation is "The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system." This means that in order to understand the complexity of certain systems, simplifying assumptions must be made in order to gain meaningful insights.
