Math Talk_Nov.19 Pascal’s Wager: Betting on God, why not?
“God is, or He is not.” But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here […] A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up […] Which will you choose then? […] Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. […] If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is. (Pascal, Blaise, 1670, Pensées, §233)
