Contradiction with Revelation 21:1
This verse speaks about a new heaven and a new earth, indicating the current earth will pass away, contradicting the permanence implied in Genesis 8:22.
Revelation 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10
Describes the day of the Lord when the earth and the works therein shall be burned up, contradicting the uninterrupted cycles mentioned in Genesis 8:22.
2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Contradiction with Isaiah 65:17
Foretells the creation of new heavens and a new earth, suggesting the old ones will no longer be remembered, contradicting the continuity implied in Genesis 8:22.
Isaiah 65:17: For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. [come...: Heb. come upon the heart]
Contradiction with Matthew 24:29
Discusses cosmic disturbances affecting the sun and moon, which can be seen as interrupting the natural cycles of day and night promised in Genesis 8:22.
Matthew 24:29: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Contradiction with Joel 2:31
Mentions the sun turning to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord, indicating a disruption in the cycles mentioned in Genesis 8:22.
Joel 2:31: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Paradox #1
The potential scientific inconsistency with the verse is that it suggests a perpetual cycle of seasons and day-night patterns without interruptions. However, geological and climate studies show that Earth's history includes significant changes, such as ice ages, where these cycles have not always remained the same.
Paradox #2
The moral conflict could arise if one considers the promise of regular seasons and cycles in contrast with the impacts of climate change. If modern environmental issues threaten this cycle, it might seem to conflict with the assurance given in the verse.
