The Book of Wisdom supports the idea of natural revelation through several passages that give support for the concept.
Natural revelation also called “general revelation,” is the process by which God makes himself known to human reason through the created world. Because of this broad medium of revelation, natural revelation is available to all people of all times in all places. Examples of natural revelation are the sunset on the beach (evidencing God’s aesthetic attention), the human cell (evidencing God’s complexity), and the cosmos (evidencing God’s power).
The book of Wisdom in the Old Testament explains this best in chapter 13 where it says that “all men who were ignorant of God were foolish by nature.” (Wisdom 13:1). In Romans 1:20, Saint Paul says that the hand of God is clearly visible in the natural world which He has made.
