Metaphysics of Scripture

Creation’s language is universal and inescapable: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard” (Ps. 19-1-33). A couple of things. The first is how the Creator speaks creation, and creation returns the favor by speaking the Creator. Second, and as Paul tells us, it is because the language of creation is unavoidable that sinners are left “without excuse” (Rom. 1:20).
