Contradiction with Isaiah 51:10

Isaiah speaks of God making a way through the sea, aligning with the miraculous nature of Psalms 136:13, rather than contradicting it.

Paradox #1

The verse refers to the parting of the Red Sea, a miraculous event. The scientific conflict here is that there is no empirical evidence or natural explanation for such an event happening as described, where a sea would part to form dry land allowing for a large group of people to cross. Natural laws as we understand them don't account for seas splitting in such a manner without an evident cause.
