Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:6
This verse refers to the world being "overflowed with water," suggesting a possibility of flooding in a different context.
2 Peter 3:6: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Contradiction with Revelation 21:1
Mentions a new heaven and a new earth, where the first heaven and earth have passed away, which could imply a change contradicting the permanence suggested in Genesis 9:11.
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 Isaiah 54:9
Compares God's promise not to flood the earth to His promise not to be angry, suggesting a potential for contradiction in interpretation.
Isaiah 54:9: For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in the context of Genesis 9:11 could relate to the idea of a worldwide flood affecting the entire Earth. Geological and archaeological evidence does not support a global flood occurring in recent history as described in the verse. Instead, science suggests that floods have occurred in specific regions, but not on a global scale.
Paradox #2
One possible contradiction is that while this verse assures that such a catastrophic event of destruction will not happen again, it raises questions about the fairness and morality of the initial destruction. If the first event was deemed necessary, it could be seen as inconsistent to then promise never to do it again if the reasons (human behavior) might not change.
