The one I remember is the French mathematician (name on the tip of my toungue, but my mouth is dry and it won't come out...) who basically reasoned: 1) If we believe in God and He doesn't exist, then we haven't lost anything. 2) If we DON'T believe in God and he DOES exist, then we could be in BIG trouble...
I belive that is Pascal's wager. The problem in contemporary religion is we have all these Preachers and Politicians telling us what God thinks.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
