Pascal's triangle

In this essay I first outline Pascal’s wager to the existence of God and then evaluate his argument. Pascal argues that one ought to wager “that God is” because “[i]f you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing,” and that given this, one can bring oneself to believe in God. I argue that one cannot truly bring themselves to believe in God. Pascal’s argument is set up in three parts. The first part accepts that God is infinitely incomprehensible. To conclude to this, one has to…

The late 1300s were a period in the Medieval Ages where little physical advancement was achieved by European countries such as and not limited to, Britain. Nevertheless, this generation of people birthed many theological thought processes and debates. The vast majority of these religious topics consisted of a careful consideration of whether the church was necessary for a Christian pursuit of spiritual completeness and purity, which primarily resulted from the steady gaze of the common man upon…

and the draw of self-preservation. Pascal’s Wager is a theory that draws on those exact human emotions, rather than on logic itself, and because of that, I myself deem it as a weak, and possibly invalid, argument. In this paper I will talk about how Pascal promises little or no loss from believing, the fault that Pascal does not address the possibility of more than just a Christian God, and the fact that choosing what to believe is deemed impossible. Pascal’s Wager states that believing in the…

The presence of a sort of tension between faith and reason has been innate to humans since people first started to question what the true purpose of life is. The existence of this separation could be clearly viewed by looking comparing Athens and Jerusalem, with Athens representing truth through reason and philosophy and Jerusalem representing truth through insights of revelation and purity of soul. Therefore, faith and reason have always posed tension by their proximity and their constantly…

because I realized that the lines O1O, O1O2, and O2O1, form a triangle, I realized that if that triangle was a right triangle I could find the distance between O1, and O. To prove that triangle OO1O2 is a right triangle I used the radii of O1, I realized that the sides of triangle PO1Q, O1P, and O1Q, are radii, and therefore they are equal. Since they are equal, the triangle PO1Q, is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle the base angles are congruent , so that means that angle Q is…

The Van Hiele Theory applies to the article “Freedom Quilts and the Underground Railroad.” The three level of Van Hiele are used in the Freedom Quilt Activity. These three levels are recognizing figures by their appearance, recognizing/analyzing figures by their properties or components, and forming abstract definitions and classifying figures by their elaborating on their interrelationships. Students will be scaffolding as they are analyzing the shapes. At the second part of the activity, the…

Pythagoras’s brown hair was mussed like he hadn’t slept well and there were shadows under his green eyes. I suspected that he had woken from his “dream from the gods” and had stayed up pondering his options. Why would he have come to my house and arranged triangles from firewood? “It’s nothing.” I said quickly. “And it’s not a book. I can’t read.” That was a lie, I could read very well. “Go home. Why are you at my house anyways?” “Don’t burn the book.” Pythagoras warned me, and I got the…

in the Bermuda Triangle? Ships have vanished without a trace and aircraft disappear with no sign of where they went. There have been countless cases where aircraft and boats have shown no signs or radioed that they were in distress. Boats have showed up without any crew members and there is no damage to the boat. There have been many possible reasons that have surfaced in recent years. From scientific reasons to conspirators believing it is the work of aliens, the Bermuda Triangle is a puzzle…

The Bermuda Triangle The Conspiracy By Damon Scott II Ever since the Columbus incident,when Columbus went to explore in 1492,his compass wasn’t working and now he started to panic because he didn’t know where he was, then his crew panicked and somehow ended up back where they were. Edward Van Winkle, claims that strange things are happening, but Larry Kusche thinks a lot different. Edward Van Winkle claims that pirates control the Bermuda Triangle waters or Atlantis’s energy floor from the…

The country of natat mortem (death swims), is under the sea located in the bermuda triangle along the tropic of cancer, northwestern hemisphere, with the coordinates of 25.0000 N and 71.0000 W, elongated east to west. The climate is tropical and extremely hot throughout the year, in fact the water is in the constant state of boiling due to the tropical temperatures. Though it seems there should be no survival in the hot temperatures the genius supreme leader esther falokun developed pod like…
