Reasons for no excuses
by RS  admin@creationpie.com : 1024 x 640


1. Reasons for no excuses
Verse routeRomans 1:20 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: [kjv]

What are some reasons for not having a valid excuse?

2. Invisible things
Verse routeRomans 1:20 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: [kjv]

What are the "invisible things"?

For this verse, one often hears a discussion of "atoms" as not being "visible". Is God made up of "atoms"? Is the creator God within space and time? The verse says the "invisible things of him".

3. Abstract things
One can divide "things" into concrete or physical "things" and abstract "things" as in ideas or thoughts.

There may be evidences of one's thoughts or ideas.

There may be evidence of God's thoughts or ideas. That is the visible world we see.

4. Science
If one takes "science" as the search for the "truth" of "reality" then the following appear to hold. Our reality is within time and space and matter. Is there anything we know that can transcend time and space and matter?

5. Information
The idea of "information" can transcend time and space and matter.

Quantum information theory will confuse this idea by defining information as time and space and matter as we know it.

DNA codeTo avoid this confusion, one can use the term "coded information" is in the coded information in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), a book, a computer program, etc.

DNA is a 3x4x4 code with 64 "instructions" that act as (redundant) codes for the amino acids plus start and stop codes.

6. Romans 1:20
   Romans 1:20 
 All 
KJV: 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:
Greek: τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεως κοσμου τοις ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και θειοτης εις το ειναι αυτους αναπολογητους

7. Strongs - without excuse

8. Without excuse
The word used by Paul for "without excuse" is used only here in Romans 1:20 and 2:1.

Word usage per chapter Words: αναπολογητος αναπολογητους


The ancient Greek word "ἀναπολόγητος""without excuse or defense" is in "inexcusable" or "unpardonable".

9. NO excuse sir

When a cadet at West Point has done (wrong) or not done something (that was to be done), the required response is "No excuse sir" (starting in 1976, it became "no excuse sir/ma'am"). There may be "reasons" but there are no "excuses".

One might not have known about something (ignorance) or chose to ignore something known. There could be "reasons" that could not be anticipated. It does not matter. There is "no excuse".

10. Ignorance of the law
Ignorance of the law is no excuse in any country. If it were, the laws would lose their effect, because it can always be pretended. Thomas Jefferson (American statesman, diplomat, scientist and 3rd President of the United States from 1801-1809) .

Such ignorance is sometimes called "plausible deniability".
