How can people see God's invisible qualities like His eternal power and Godhead?

According to Romans 1, God's invisible qualities—His eternal power and Godhead—are clearly seen from the creation of the world. They are understood by the things that are made, because God has manifested that knowledge in people, leaving the whole human race without excuse.

Les teaches from Romans 1:18–20 that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ungodliness and unrighteousness, though believers today are under grace, not wrath. He explains that what may be known of God is manifest in people, and the word “manifest” carries the idea of a manifold—a complete unveiling of knowledge, not just one small segment. God has already shown it to them. The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen and understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so the whole human race is without excuse. Yet Les adds that this does not mean we can sit in our living rooms and let the world go to hell; the constant admonition is to promote the gospel to the ends of the earth.
