Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in this verse could relate to the concept of hell or a fiery furnace as a physical place of punishment after death. Science does not support the existence of an afterlife or a physical location like hell where souls are punished. Concepts of the afterlife and hell are considered metaphysical beliefs, not grounded in empirical scientific evidence.
