God exists with probability 1/(H+1)

History and Philosophy of Physics 2012-06-29 v1

Abstract

This note will address the issue of the existence of God from a game theoretic perspective. We will show that, under certain assumptions, man cannot simultaneously be (i) rational and (ii) believe that an infinitely powerful God exists. Game theory and decision theory have long been used to address this thorny question.
