Contradiction with Genesis 2:1-2
Psalms 146:6 proclaims God as creator of heaven and earth, while Genesis 2:1-2 indicates that His creation work ended after six days, implying no continuous creation.
Genesis 2:1-2: Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Contradiction with Hebrews 4:3-4
While Psalms 146:6 states God "made heaven, and earth, the sea," Hebrews 4:3-4 emphasizes that God ceased from His works, suggesting completion rather than ongoing creation.
Hebrews 4:3-4: For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Contradiction with Exodus 20:11
Psalms 146:6 highlights ongoing creation attributes, but Exodus 20:11 asserts that creation was finished in six days and God rested on the seventh, focusing on completion.
Exodus 20:11: For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:9
Psalms 146:6 implies active creation, whereas Ecclesiastes 1:9 declares, "there is no new thing under the sun," implying a cessation of creation acts.
Ecclesiastes 1:9: The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.
Paradox #1
The contradiction could be that the verse implies a supernatural creation of the Earth and heavens, which conflicts with the scientific understanding of the universe's formation through natural processes like the Big Bang and evolution. Science relies on evidence and testable theories, while the verse presents a faith-based perspective.
