Formally, yes. However, I think it's easy to imagine a Pascal's wager where we replace "diety" with anything Truly Objective, such as whatever it is that we hope the sciences are asymptotically approaching with increasingly accurate models. And then you say, what if there is another Truly Objective cost to believing in this Truly Objective reality (or something)-- and I think that's an argument that has been well debated before, yes? Mutually exclusive propositions, yes? - Bryan ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=74075746-6747a3
