No wonder Paul writes that those who reject the Creator “are without excuse” (Rom. 1:20). The phrase means “without a defense,” and it originally referred to a legal defense in a courtroom. In the Greek, the word is anapologétos, which has the same root as the word apologetics. The passage implies that those who adopt Creator substitutes end up with two-story worldviews that are not defensible as logically consistent, coherent, or realistic. Their worldviews do not fit reality as they themselves experience it.
