Computers use the base-two system, as it is easier to implement with electrical current.

It is called the binary system ...and basically operates on an 'off' and 'on' basis.

The word 'bit' is an abbreviation for 'B'-inary dig-'it'.

Zero equals 0.

One equals 1.

Two equals 10.

Three equals 11.

Four equals 100.

Five equals 101.

Six equals 110.

Seven equals 111.

Eight equals 1000.

Bits are bundled into 8-digit collections called bytes.

And with an appetite like mine, you need megabytes.

Maybe you aren't familiar with the binary system ...or base-2. Perhaps you'd like to return to Math that is more familiar.

Okay, you can return to base ...

Base-10, that is.

You know, where one plus one equals two ...two plus two equals four.

And 11 is eleven, not three.

In times that were not that long ago, we were all told that it was important to learn the three 'R's ...Reading, Riting, and Rithmetic.  Good thing spelling wasn't included.  Yes, I know it was told that way to help remember it ...and 'R'ather 'R'hythmic.

And yes, Arithmetic or Math, was a big part of our learning.

What if we were told that part of our Math book was wrong?(Thought I was going to say, 'rong'?)

Yes, what if the claim was that part of it was false, but we weren't told which part?  Or worse yet, what if we were told that different parts were false, by different people.  

We may not trust the book, and we may not know what person to trust ...it would seem, that our overall trust would be diminishing.

But, this wouldn't be merely a simple subtraction problem ...it would probably diminish exponentially.

And I would have no confidence working out my problems. I would not know which part was right.

People have done this sort of thing with the Bible.

How can someone say that parts of it are not true or accurate?

How then could any part be considered accurate?  Who would decide, and who could trust who in the past decided?  

In the future, the only people to decide would be those who decided they wanted to be the ones who decided.

I see the care and detail that was taken to copy the original writings of the Bible.  I feel I am reading what others have read for years.  I do not decide ...but I can 'R'ead.

And though my spelling is often not that good, I also try to write.  I try to get right that which God feels is most important to include in His Word ...and I try to share it.  

If God felt it was important to share with me ...then I also feel it's mighty important to share with others.  And that's precisely what I'm trying to do.
