Paradox #1

The potential scientific conflict with this verse could be the suggestion that God is physically located in the heavens or space. Modern science understands the universe in terms of galaxies, stars, and planets, and it does not identify any specific physical location for a deity. Instead, the concept of God is considered metaphysical or spiritual, beyond the scope of physical science.
