What is Pascal’s Wager?

Pascal’s Wager is a philosophical argument presented by the 17th-century French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. It posits that human beings bet with their lives that God either exists or does not.

Here’s the basic breakdown:

• The Setup: Pascal argues that we can’t know for certain whether God exists. It’s a gamble.
• The Options: You have two choices:
• Believe in God: If God exists, you gain eternal salvation (an infinite reward). If God doesn’t exist, you lose relatively little (some earthly pleasures, maybe).
• Don’t Believe in God: If God exists, you face eternal damnation (an infinite loss). If God doesn’t exist, you gain relatively little (some earthly pleasures, maybe).
• The Logic: Pascal frames this as a decision matrix. The potential reward for believing in God is infinitely greater than any potential loss, while the potential loss for not believing is infinitely greater than any potential gain. Therefore, the rational choice is to believe in God, even if the probability of God’s existence seems low.
