Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse
Romans 1:19-20
If the God's hand in creation is indeed self-evident then it IS self-evident. It is not deceptive, it is not subtle, it cannot be mistaken otherwise people would indeed have an excuse.
So if the earth
appears to be ancient, if life
appears to have evolved then it
did. Because the creation of the world is
clearly seen so that there is no excuse.
Therefore young earthers need to accept that what is clearly seen is an old earth and evolution.
