Contradiction with Genesis 1:29
Genesis 1:22 states God blessed the creatures to fill the earth, but Genesis 1:29 gives humans dominion over all plants, implying control over nature rather than a mutual blessing and growth.
Genesis 1:29: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. [bearing...: Heb. seeding seed] [yielding...: Heb. seeding seed]
Contradiction with Genesis 2:7
Genesis 1:22 involves blessing the creatures of the sea and air, whereas Genesis 2:7 describes the creation of man from dust with no mention of blessings to other creatures at that moment.
Genesis 2:7: And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. [of the dust...: Heb. dust of the ground]
Contradiction with Genesis 9:3
Genesis 1:22 involves the blessing of sea and air creatures, while Genesis 9:3 confers permission to humans to eat all living things, presenting a post-flood change in the human-animal relationship.
Genesis 9:3: Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Contradiction with Psalm 8:6-8
Genesis 1:22 offers a blessing for creatures to multiply, whereas Psalm 8:6-8 speaks of humans having dominion over all things, implying a hierarchical control conflicting with the mutual prosperity described in Genesis 1:22.
Psalm 8:6-8: Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction between this verse and scientific understanding because the verse suggests that animals were created in their current forms at once. In contrast, science, through the theory of evolution, explains that animal species developed over millions of years through gradual changes and natural selection. This difference in perspectives can be seen as a conflict between a literal interpretation of the verse and scientific evidence.
