Contradiction with Psalm 78:39

Contradiction with Isaiah 38:18

Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction with the idea that our bodies will change when the Bible also says that God made us perfect or in His image. They might wonder why a perfect creation needs to change to be immortal. However, many believe this change is part of God’s plan for life after death, and not a contradiction.
Paradox #2
The verse speaks about the transformation of mortal bodies into immortality, which is a concept that doesn't align with scientific understanding. From a scientific perspective, all living organisms, including humans, undergo a life cycle that ends in death, with no evidence of physical bodies becoming immortal. As such, the idea of physical immortality conflicts with current scientific knowledge about biology and the life cycle.
