Hinduism Internal Contradiction

The Creation Paradox

The Vedas assert detailed creation myths but also suggest the Creator might not know how it happened.

Rig Veda 10.129

"Who really knows? ... Perhaps He formed it, or perhaps He did not - only He who is the overseer in highest heaven knows, or perhaps He does not know."

Various Creation Hymns

"(Detailed accounts of Prajapati or Brahma creating the world)."

Analysis

The "Nasadiya Sukta" introduces a profound skepticism about the origins of the universe that undercuts the certainty of other dogmatic creation hymns in the same corpus.
