Paradox #1
Psalms 121:6 talks about protection from the sun and moon. Some people might see a contradiction if they find it hard to understand how the moon could harm someone. Additionally, it could seem inconsistent with real-world experiences where people do face challenges or harm despite such protection promises.
Paradox #2
The verse in question mentions that the sun will not harm you by day. A scientific inconsistency here could be that we know the sun can cause harm in various ways, such as sunburn, heatstroke, or dehydration, due to UV radiation and high temperatures. This conflicts with the scientific understanding of how the sun affects the human body.
