PASCAL’S WAGER
_______________
Pascal's Wager is a philosophical argument presented by the French mathematician, philosopher, physicist, and theologian Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. It posits that human beings wager with their lives that God either exists or does not. Pascal argued that people can choose to believe in God or can choose not to believe, but the potential benefits of believing in God are so vast that it is rational to bet on theism. Pascal's Wager is a practical argument for belief in God that applies elements of game theory to show that belief in the Christian religion is rational.
