Romans 2:15 says the works of the law are written on the heart. A lot of NL guys say that means natural law is written on the heart. I actually don't think that verse supports NL, though I do have a room for NL in my theology.

Per Rom 1:18ff I don't think "without excuse" implies a good NL. I think other things do, but not that. One could turn it around and say that "they suppress the truth" proves the non-truth of NL. I buy a form of NL, but I don't use those verses.

A lot of people look at general revelation and immediately infer natural theology (The HCSB Apologetics Study Bible, for example). I don't think that is a good move.
