Bertrand Russell, one of the most influential philosophers of the modern era, argued at length in his book "The Problems of Philosophy" that belief in inductive reasoning is not rational that because of its intrinsic proofs; it cannot be justified by a single appeal to experience (Russell 1998). Inductive reasoning refers to a form of reasoning that constructs or evaluates propositions that are generalizations of observations (Russell 1998). Inductive reasoning is therefore, simply put, probabilistic. The premises of an inductive logical argument provide some degree of support for the conclusion, but this support is by no means definitive or conclusive (Browne, 2004). Yet even if one agrees with Russell and concludes that there is no rational justification for the principle of induction per se, one can nonetheless argue that there is a pragmatic justification for maintaining a belief in this principle. Simply put, there are always perfectly valid reasons to behave as if the principle of induction were true, whether or not the principle itself is rationally justifiable (Browne, 2004). This type of justification can be used in many belief systems that we hold as human beings, even extending to the playing field of religion. In this article, I will argue not only why it is pragmatically justifiable to believe in the principle of induction, but also why it is equally justifiable to believe in an infinite God, whether or not deductive reasoning provides us with definitive support for a like God. conclusions. Let us begin by examining the question of universal order and the problem of induction. The problem with inductive reasoning is that it relies on the assumption that ...... middle of paper ....... Yet, for our own happiness and peace of mind, we must believe that events past, such as the sun rose yesterday and the thousands of days that preceded it provide us with perfectly valid evidence to believe that tomorrow the sun will rise again. In the same way, we can rationally support a belief in God, even if we cannot provide conclusive evidence for his existence (or non-existence). These types of pragmatic justifications are, I believe, essential to the happiness and well-being of human beings. Whether or not the arguments for the merit and existence of God and the principle of induction hold water, optimistic approaches to problems are in no way harmful. They allow us to live our lives in relative happiness, even though we can ultimately be certain of so little in the universe in which we live..
