Psalms 33:9: For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Contradiction with Genesis 2:7

Contradicts by describing God forming man from dust, suggesting a process rather than instantaneous creation by word.

Contradiction with Exodus 20:11

Contradicts by implying creation took six days, while Psalms 33:9 suggests creation by a single command.

Contradiction with Hebrews 11:3

Contradicts because it indicates things not appearing from visible, suggesting faith in the unseen process, unlike direct command mentioned in Psalms 33:9.

Hebrews 11:3: Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Contradiction with John 1:3

Contradicts by attributing creation through the Word (Logos), with deeper implication than just spoken word.

Contradicts by indicating that God made the earth and created man with His hands, implying action beyond speaking.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in that verse could be the concept of creation through spoken command or divine decree. Science generally explains the formation of the universe and life through natural processes such as the Big Bang and evolution, which involve complex physical and biological mechanisms over extended periods, rather than instantaneous creation through speech.
