Be very careful about using computers to support anything, theory or otherwise. They're only as good as the data that they're given and their output is commensurate with that data. It's the old adage "GIGO". You can make a computer simulation/program prove/support anything...and nothing at all.

What they're great for is visualisation, constructing representations of theoretical models.

Like all tools, they're only as good as those that use them.
