Contradiction with Genesis 2:7
This verse states that God directly formed man from the dust, implying that creation is a direct act of God rather than the Spirit of God making man.
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 John 1:3
This verse claims that all things were made by the Word, suggesting creation through the Word, not solely the Spirit of God.
John 1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 12:7
Describes the return of the spirit to God upon death, emphasizing the transitory nature of the spirit rather than continuous life.
Ecclesiastes 12:7: Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Contradiction with Psalm 104:30
States that God sends forth His spirit to create and renew, suggesting a more continual process rather than a singular act as described in Job 33:4.
Psalm 104:30: Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Paradox #1
The debate could center around the concept of creation, especially regarding how life begins. Science typically explains the origin of human life through biological processes like evolution and reproduction. If the verse is interpreted as stating that life is initiated directly by a divine entity, this might contradict scientific explanations of human origin and development.
