Go to Google and do a search for 'Descartes' Wager'. You'll probably
find a Wikipedia article about the subject. Read and digest the
article.

No.

If you have something to say, say it. I'm not going to dig around on
Google and Wikipedia, trying to guess what your point is. If you
can't present the concept the wager represents yourself, I'm not going
to do your work for you.


Remain wilfully ignorant, then.




I did do a search for "Descartes' Wager", just for ****s and giggles.

Guess how many results I found?

Zero.

If you're gonna blither on about bull****, at least know what you're
talking about, and get the ****ing name right.


Oops! My mistake. It was Pascal's Wager. I have no idea why Descartes
sprung to mind as I was typing.

The link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_Wager

Once again, sorry for the confusion.
