A
logical paradox is a situation where a statement or idea leads to a contradiction or conflict in logic. It is like saying something that can't be true because it goes against common sense or reasoning.
Full definition
Consider for a moment that only 1 % of species exist from the last mass extinction barrier and then try to see
the logical paradox that species evolve over a long period of time.
For example, a person swimming the Atlantic is unlikely, but it is «allowed» by the rules of language; a dark - haired blonde, however, is impossible and not allowed by the rules, so it is
a logical paradox.
