Paradox #1
The verse describes entities like eyes, ears, and mouths that do not function. A potential contradiction is that it attributes human-like physical features to objects or beings that do not naturally possess or operate these features. In science, eyes, ears, and mouths are parts of living organisms with specific biological functions, so saying they exist but do not work conflicts with their understood biological roles.
