Only if they are true paradoxes based on a complete understanding. There are many "apparent" paradoxes that are based on assumptions and misunderstandings.
My contention is that the FW v O "paradox" is one of these and it is one that is fervently latched onto by Atheists because they feel it's a trump card. The probelm is that there are many complex issues here involving the nature of time , the universe and relativity (and eternity) . So many seem to want to not accept that these issues change things and make what "seems" like a paradox into something more believable.
