I am writing a report on how Pascal's religious transformation hinder the scientific revolution and I was wondering if anyone else knew of other scientists or philosophers or any significant people had done something similar with religious transformations. The more details the better or just some names would help. Thanks alot everyone!

There are a ton of clarification why Pascal's wager doesn't artwork, and here are both major ones I frequently raise: a million) It assumes that accessible opt for to believe something, as a count number of prepare. particular, you are able to *say* that you've self belief something you probably did not formerly, yet are you able to regulate what you actual believe, deep down? 2) It doesn't think concerning the large form of accessible religions/deities.

(close enough to Pascal's wager) DRINK!
But seriously, Pascal was an nut, just look at his "transformation" and his "wager". It is a joke, and can easily be dismissed....and no, I don't know any other men of science that went crazy
