Murphy’s laws of universal certainty

The Zen of Murphy

Reality is what you make it!!!

 

Murphy ’s Law number one; “if you drop a buttered sandwich, it’s bound to hit the floor butter down.”

 

Murphy’s Law number two; "There is no god.”

 

----------------------------

Murphy’s Theories analyzed

 

·        After considerable exhaustive experimentation, scientists have confirmed that indeed; Murphy’s Law regarding the “trajectory of sandwiches when falling” is quite correct. Although scientists accept that no one to date has been able to discover the intricate dynamics behind this phenomenon.

 

·        Regarding Murphy’s second scientific law that; “there is no god”, theologians are still in debate.

 

However; many scientists argue that because Murphy was right on the first account - and in giving him fair dues on his considerable insight into the fall of sandwiches; Murphy is probably right on the second account.

 

Theologians however counter this argument saying; “Murphy was a good scientist but not a good theologian.”

------------------------------

What is particularly puzzling to both parties; (both the scientists and the theologians) is in Murphy’s assertions that “both mysteries would forever remain ‘unsolved.’”
