Computers use binary numbers internally, because components that use binary are easier and cheaper to build. Whenever you type a number into the computer, it gets converted to binary internally, and then back to decimal for output. (Actually, it's converted to ASCII for output, but that's for a later discussion.)

Explanation of evolution for Octamed.
Pro-evolution, of course. Just realized I posted a response to his video 2 months ago ... so I must have been aware of it at one time.
Just caught a mistake in the last bullet at t=2:20, namely that a population will increase without bound IF THERE IS NO PRESSURE ON IT.
Evolution does not "depend on" abiogenesis.
Neither evolution nor abiogenesis violates 2LOT.
Creationists need to do basic homework on the subject of thermodynamics, before they set about "educating" other people.
The number system with which most of us are familiar is a base-10, positionally-weighte d number system. The concepts used to understand this number system will be directly transferable to understanding the number systems often used in studying computers.
Yes. It's a number, but I would argue that declaring it an integer results in Russell's Paradox, if we use the same Zermelo-Frankl definition of integers that you employed.
Popular account of "Complexity Theory" that includes many reminiscences from conversations and experiences he has had in his career.
Textbooks are useful, but they leave out a lot of the adventure of science. This kind of book helps connect the dots.
Creationists are like the really deluded American Idol Contestants who are convinced they're brilliant, but are tragically and sometimes tragi-comically bad.

I forgot one of the most important hints:
When you are writing out a solution, don't write random expressions. Write out complete equations!
Should creationists be allowed to serve on juries? Their method of evaluating the evidence is to make up their minds, before seeing 'any' of the evidence and then attempt to justify their uninformed belief, while ignoring or misrepresenting the real evidence, and promoting urban legend as fact.
Other Languages and the concept of a variable.
All higher level languages I know of use the concept of a variable:
A named piece of storage that has contents and an interpretation (or type).
Creationists commonly assertion that abiogenesis violates the second law of thermodynamics (2LOT). They can only convince people who don't understand thermodynamics won't do any honest homework to figure it out.
