Not bad reasoning MJA, but the second line is a false premise.. Paradoxes are not man made, a more correct description is that some events are incorrectly seen by man as a paradox. This is thru lack of understanding or technology.

The statement (final line) that natures paradox is man cannot be supported by a false premise.

Here is a true Paradox

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish the F!@^# he'd go away
