Rom 1:20-25 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
This passage is about not recognizing that God created the universe and turning away from Him to idols. It says nothing about exploring the "how" of creation. Abiogenesis could be how God designed the universe to work.
The "lie" in Romans 1:25 could be atheism rather than abiogenesis or evolution.
I concurr with this opinion.
I thought Paul was stating facts not opinions.
