Contradiction with Genesis 2:7
The verse describes God forming man from the dust of the ground and breathing into his nostrils the breath of life, a direct creation act, whereas Psalms 104:30 describes renewal and continuous creation through the spirit.
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 Ecclesiastes 3:19-20
These verses equate the fate of humans and animals, suggesting a form of finality at death, in contrast to Psalms 104:30 which implies ongoing creation and life renewal by God's spirit.
Ecclesiastes 3:19-20: For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 32:27
This verse emphasizes God's omnipotence in all actions, whereas Psalms 104:30 focuses specifically on the renewing aspect of God's spirit in creation.
Jeremiah 32:27: Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:12
Here, God declares His creation of the earth and mankind, stressing a finished act, while Psalms 104:30 speaks of a continual process of renewal.
Isaiah 45:12: I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Contradiction with John 1:3
The verse highlights creation through the Word (Logos), attributed to Jesus, while Psalms 104:30 attributes renewal to the Spirit, suggesting different aspects and processes of creation.
John 1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Paradox #1
The contradiction with Psalms 104:30 could be the idea of life being renewed by a divine breath or spirit. Science attributes the renewal and creation of life to biological processes and the laws of nature, such as evolution, genetics, and reproduction, rather than supernatural intervention.
