Check out Contradictions Catalog of Genesis 1:24 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Genesis 1:24. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God made all kinds of animals to live on the earth, like cows, bugs, and other creatures, and they were all made just as He wanted them to be. God spoke, and it happened just like He said.

Genesis 1:24: And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

Contradiction with Genesis 2:19

Genesis 1:24 states that animals were created before humans, whereas Genesis 2:19 suggests that animals were formed after Adam.

Genesis 2:19: And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. [Adam: or, the man]

Paradox #1

Genesis 1:24 describes God creating land animals. A contradiction or inconsistency might arise when comparing this account with scientific evidence suggesting that animals evolved over millions of years. The biblical account presents a specific timeline of creation that may not align with the current understanding of the gradual process of evolution supported by fossil records and scientific studies. This difference creates a conflict between a literal interpretation of the biblical text and the scientific explanation of biodiversity development.

Paradox #2

A potential contradiction with this verse is the idea of all land animals being created simultaneously. Scientific evidence suggests that different species of land animals evolved gradually over millions of years, not all at once.
