ÁNXEL VENCE A house betting catolicísima of Ireland has just literally put at stake the existence of God with the organization of a truncheon on the Sublime. The idea is to hit if from now until December 31 next year will reveal evidence of the existence of divinity. At the moment they win by four to one the believers against the atheist option of the house.

The date of Dec. 31 chosen by the casino Paddy Power is by no means coincidental. By then it is hoped that scientists of the European Laboratory for Particle Elementary Geneva have successfully simulate the Big Bang theory according to which that name gave birth to the universe. The project, which is something of diabolical even in their cost of 4.000 billion euros, would find-not-call or particle of God. That finding appears to demonstrate the existence of a Supreme Being and forced to pay tens of thousands of pounds to the irreverent organizers of the bet. Just punishment for his wrongdoing.

Said at Albert Einstein famously enigmatic phrase that God does not play dice with the universe, but now we see that change in men rely enough on the chance to risk their rooms about whether the Creator actually created or No galaxies.

The custom of betting and even decide by vote the existence of divinity is already old. Far back in 1888, a Congress Spirite International meeting in Barcelona did not hesitate to refer to the plebiscite of its members if God existed or not, with a favorable outcome for believers. Half a century later, however, some members of Ateneo Spanish did a similar vote and the majority opinion tilted this time by the camp of skeptics. It is known that in matters ultraterrenos universal suffrage is not very useful.

It may not gambling is so profitable in this aspect as it seems to presuppose that the Irish company has raised its bets until God himself. Otherwise, your marketing department should have reported the existence of the Most High has been scientifically proven already last March by Michael Heller, a Polish mathematician and philosopher.

According to reports from The Times of London, Heller won this year’s Templeton Prize, endowed with the not inconsiderable sum of one million euros, for a study that supposedly showed that mathematics can provide indirect evidence that God exists. Unfortunately, Heller added to its scientific status of the priest and eventually a personal friend of former Pope John Paul II, circumstances will undoubtedly argue that the directors of Paddy Power for not accepting the payment of the reward at stake.

This type of betting would not have the slightest sense in Galicia, a country of strong pagan roots where everyone taken for granted the existence of God, even those who do not believe in it. Accustomed to qualify their answers, many Galicians often reply when asked about these matters theology that “God is good? But the devil is not necessarily bad.” It is the logical consequence of our contemporizador character and templagaitas, which leads us to reconcile different views on the general principle that everything depends on how you look. And besides, we know that they should have friends and influences up in hell. You never know when is a need.

If you put in Bret betting on the existence of God, it’s likely that a joint venture of the Galician an amount in favor and one against. Perhaps that explains that the Irish casino Paddy Power have taken the precaution of allowing only one option game to the bettor. It looks familiar to us.
