Paradox #1

The verse talks about waters or floods, which some might interpret as conflicting with scientific understanding if taken literally to refer to global events, such as a worldwide flood. Science currently does not support the occurrence of a global flood in Earth's geological history. However, many people interpret the verse metaphorically or spiritually, which would not present a contradiction.
