I have spent a considerable portion of my intellectual prime grappling with just those questions. My conclusion was that Romans 1:20 was simply not true. The universe as perceived does not plainly or obviously comment on either the existence or nature of God. (I should add the disclaimer of subjectivity: as perceived by me. Nonetheless I gave it my sustained best shot.) I also do not experience conscience as described. I am unable to use my conscience to reliably and deductively order the complexities of life into good andor evil. My reality and that of the model contradict one another. I am not saying that this disproves the Christian construct for all. But it does for me. Paradoxically I find that this increases my moral responsibility - without a fixed external authority that i recognize, the basic mandate to be good requires that I think about what is good from the ground up. cheers js
