Contradiction with Genesis 1:14
Contradicts Psalms 104:19 by stating that the lights in the firmament are for signs, seasons, days, and years, implying a broader function than just marking seasons.
Genesis 1:14: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [the day...: Heb. between the day and between the night]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:1
Suggests that every activity has its own time under heaven, which may contradict the idea of heavenly bodies solely governing seasons.
Ecclesiastes 3:1: To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Contradiction with Jeremiah 10:2
Warns against learning the way of the heathen and being dismayed by the signs of heaven, which challenges the significance given to celestial bodies in marking seasons.
Jeremiah 10:2: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Paradox #1
This verse mentions the moon's phases and the sun's role in marking time. A possible contradiction might arise if interpreting it to suggest that celestial bodies were created solely for tracking time, which isn't the complete purpose from a scientific viewpoint. While these bodies do help mark time, they also have other functions in the cosmos unrelated to timekeeping. However, interpretations of this kind are often symbolic or poetic, and not necessarily meant to be scientific explanations.
