how does this compare with psalm 19:1 4, which also speaks of creation revealing god?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Romans 1:20

“For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divinity, have been plainly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse.”

Paul is writing to believers in Rome, explaining the nature of the gospel and humanity's need for it. Before describing salvation, he addresses the human condition, arguing that everyone has some knowledge of God through the natural world.

What does this passage suggest about the responsibility we have in responding to what we observe in the world around us?
