Creation Moment 10/7/2022 - Mathematical Models

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: (and some trust in mathematical models)
but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 20:7
 
"Mathematical models are a great way to explore questions
They are also a dangerous way to assert answers
Asking models for certainty or consensus is more a sign of the
difficulties in making controversial decisions than it is a solution, and can invite ritualistic use of quantification
Models’ assumptions and limitations must be appraised openly and honestly. Process and ethics matter as much as intellectual prowess."
