Introducing a genius named Blaise Pascal….
He is a French philosopher that utilized the probability theory to justify why human should believe in God.
God exists (G) | God does not exist (~G) | |
---|---|---|
Living as if God exists (B) | +∞ (heaven) | −N (none) |
Living as if God does not exist (~B) | ?? not specified perhaps N (limbo/purgatory/spiritual death) or −∞ (hell) | +N (none) |
From the matrix, he argued that believing in God is absolutely more beneficial than not believing.
