You know that people simulate chemistry on computers, right?

Yes. We also simulate cosmology and quantum systems and play Sims.

The difference being that the chemical simulations get the correct answers on most conditions. And probably the few they miss are because of the simulation limitations, not of the underlying model.
Those other simulators aren't there to tell you the result. Instead people put the result in to find how the simulation behaves in cosmology, and don't care about them in Sims.
