Pascal is regarded as the founder of probability theory, and Pascal’s Wager is essentially an argument for belief in God in the form of a risk-rewards analysis. The point is that if you bet that God doesn’t exist and you lose, you lose everything (heaven, eternal life). If, on the other hand, you bet on God existing and lose, you lose nothing. It’s a simple win-win argument.
Gpa Arnold used this one often....good album title?
