You've said "ZFC has been proven to be inconsistent, based on the Skolem
paradox".

i say

from wiki

quote

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFC
Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, with the axiom of choice, commonly
abbreviated ZFC, is the standard form of axiomatic SET THEORY

NOW read wiki

Using the Löwenheim-Skolem Theorem, we can get a model of SET THEORY
which only contains a countable number of objects. However, it must
contain the aforementioned uncountable sets, which appears to be a
contradiction


Note the "appears". Very important. Wikipedia does not say that the
Skolem paradox proves ZFC to be inconsistent. It is not that bad a
source.

*None* of your sources say this, and no competent person agrees with
it.

You are misreading your sources.

I asked you to prove that the Skolem paradox is a contradiction.

Please do so, or shut up.

now ZFC is set theory
so it is in contradiction due to skolem
