Why Smart People Reject God

Summary

The sermon explores why intelligent people reject God, focusing on the apostle Paul's assertion in Romans that God's existence is clearly revealed through creation, yet humans choose to suppress this knowledge. Drawing from Romans 1:19-20, the message argues that people are not ignorant of God, but actively choose to ignore or reject His evident presence in the world around them. The key takeaway is that all humans are ultimately "without excuse" before God, as His divine nature and power are plainly observable, and the real issue lies not with God's revelation but with human spiritual resistance and willful blindness.
