Yes. You can see this by calculating the chance in which no two people will have the same birthday, which is
364/365*363/365*...*343/365
this is about 0.5, so the probability of having two people with the same birthday is also about 0.5

It's not really a paradox. It is a consequence of the binomial distribution that if you have x people, you have outcomes from none of the x people have the same birthdate to all of the x people have the same birthdate. If you add all the probabilities except (p=no common birthdate), p= 0.50 appx.
