Contradiction with John 3:16
This verse emphasizes God's love for the world, contrasting with the notion of destruction implied in Psalms 104:32.

Contradiction with Genesis 9:15
It speaks of God's covenant to never again destroy all life with a flood, which contradicts the destructive power described in Psalms 104:32.
Genesis 9:15: And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Contradiction with Isaiah 54:10
Though mountains be removed, God's unfailing love won't be shaken, contrasting the shaking of the earth in Psalms 104:32.
Isaiah 54:10: For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
Contradiction with James 1:17
Highlights the unchanging and good nature of God, which contrasts with the destructive portrayal of God in Psalms 104:32.
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Paradox #1
Psalm 104:32 mentions God looking at the earth, causing it to tremble, and touching the mountains, which then smoke. A scientific inconsistency could be that natural events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have geophysical explanations based on natural laws and processes, rather than direct supernatural intervention. Science seeks to understand these events through plate tectonics and other natural mechanisms, not divine actions. Hence, attributing them to a divine cause might not align with scientific explanations.
