I will deal with Blaise Pascal’s argument about God’s existence in his book ‘Pensees’. In his book, he starts his argument by comparing the infinite and God. He says that we know that there is an infinite, but we are ignorant of its nature. From this, we may well know the existence of a thing, without knowing its nature, so we may well know that there is a God without knowing the nature of God, what God is.
Pascal says that the reason cannot decide whether god exists or not because there is an infinite chaos which separated us. He assumes a game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. He says we can defend neither of the propositions according to the reason, and the true course is not to wager at all. However, he also says that we must wager because we are embarked, so it is not optional.
According to Pascal, we have two things to stake, our reason, and our happiness. Pascal says our reason is no more shocked in choosing one rather than the other, since I must choose. He tells us about our happiness in wagering situation.
