Reply to Pascal's Wager: Faith as a "hedge your bets" proposition in Religion JoeUser Forums

"Another favorite statement by religious philosophers refers to Pascal’s Wager. Pascal was an eminent seventeenth century mathematician who struggled with the contradictions presented by Christian theology.

So when you said, "it just doesn't happen," were you referring to observation? "If something is claimed to exist but does not impinge on man in any way whatsoever, we can safely say that it does not exist as far as human existence is concerned.

However, since this alleged object or event does not manifest itself to us, it does not affect us in any way whatso

"there is simply no empirical observation of a reptile giving birth to a bird. It just doesn't happen" Of course it doesn't happen.....anymore. Just as apes no longer give birth to man. What do you think scientists should do, find a live dinosaur and see if it gives birth to a bird? Do you not believe in the possibility of missing links?
