Paul here asserts that the attributes of God, such as his power and authority, are clearly revealed in the created world. All men have this witness, rendering them inexcusable before God when they rebel against him. The witness of conscience, God's law written in every man's heart, also renders all without excuse. What we may call "natural revelation" does not lend "saving light" as does special revelation (the Bible), but it does eliminate any possible excuse men might make.
