As a scientist and philosopher of science, Pascal championed strict empirical It was during the period from 1656 until his death in 1662 that he wrote the Conic Sections; Experiments on the Vacuum; Pascal's Triangle and Probability Theory inscribed within conic sections that is still known today as Pascal's Theorem. Humans have coped with uncertainty without the benefit of advice from mathematicians, both before and after Pascal and Fermat's discovery of the mathematics of probability in 1654. And they have talked and written about how to do so. So, there is a history of probability that concerns neither mathematics nor anticipations of mathematics. Silsbee 1. Betting on God: Pascal, Probability Theory and Theology choosing between competing theories in science (Hájek sec. 5). simplest until and unless additional evidence forces us to complicate it. This approach is preferred for two particularly important reasons: first, a simpler hypothesis is always more easily. Before Pascal and Fermat's discovery of the mathematics of probability in 1654, how did we make reliable predictions? What methods in law, science, commerce, philosophy and logic helped us to get at the truth in cases where certainty was not attainable?
