Have you ever heard of Pascal’s Wager? It’s a philosophical question posed by Blaise Pascal.
He was a brilliant 17th-century French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, and theologian. He was a child prodigy who made monumental contributions to science and math before later turning his focus to theology.
Here is the philosophical question he posed:
Believe in God: If He exists, you win everything (Heaven). If He doesn’t, you lose nothing.
Don’t Believe: If He exists, you lose everything. If He doesn’t, you gain nothing.
The math implies the only rational move is to bet on belief. 🎲🙏
