Contradiction with Genesis 1:7
This verse describes God creating the firmament and dividing the waters, implying a direct act of creation, unlike the rhetorical questioning of natural processes in Job 38:28.
Genesis 1:7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so.
Contradiction with Psalm 104:13
This verse describes God actively watering the hills from His chambers, suggesting direct divine intervention in contrast to the questioning nature of Job 38:28.
Psalm 104:13: He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
Contradiction with Psalm 147:8
This verse states that God prepares rain for the earth, which suggests a direct role in the process, differing from the rhetorical questions in Job 38:28.
Psalm 147:8: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:22
It asks if there are any other causes for rain, affirming that God is the one who brings rain, whereas Job 38:28 questions if rain has a father.
Jeremiah 14:22: Are there [any] among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? [art] not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these [things].
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in that Bible verse could relate to the description of natural processes or phenomena like rain or water sources. If the verse suggests that these occur through means that contradict scientific understanding of the water cycle, such as attributing them to supernatural causes instead of evaporation and condensation processes, this might be seen as inconsistent with scientific explanations.
