Indeed! That's what computers are for! If God had meant us to count
above twenty he would have given us more digits! ;-)

I always thought God was a base 4 machine programer (A-T-C-G) and a
base 20 virtual machine programmer (the amino acids). Of course if you
want to get technical, the base 4 stuff is also part of a virual
machine because the real trick was the base 18 stuff (6 quarks x 3
colors).
