That's a bad excuse. Scripture doesn't cover every single thing, thought, or example. There's no way any book could hold such info. Inference has been used throughout all of history to gain knowledge and info from as little info that exists. Police do it all the time. Medical personnel.
There is this thing called Opportunity. Babies and children are not mature minded, intelligent enough, nor physically old enough to understand God on such a level to accept or reject.
Aborted babies never had the Opportunity to Choose. Those who never experienced Jesus never had the Opportunity to Choose and what many believe is Jesus went to Hell for those 3 days to preach so they COULD experience it and took them home.
What about autistic children and adults? I've worked for several years and have a nephew who is. At my last church the one autistic kid knew of God but how he functions would no equal to a normal child. If you think God sends any baby or child to Hell you have incorrect knowledge.
If you think EVERY single topic must be backed by scripture you also have incorrect knowledge.
There is a problem with your premise. You are basing a man's intellect, his ability to understand as the means of receiving the Good News.
1 Corinthians 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
So when it is not on the speaker, then it is not on the listener or in the case of babies, it is not on the receiver.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
John 6:44
No man ( nor baby ) can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Now consider this; can the Father draw the retarded and the mentally handicapped and the autistic and even the mentally ill unto the Son to reveal His Son to them so they can believe in Him & be saved? I'd say yes.
Matthew 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I would equate distress to any mental defect as well as the emotional ones and so God knows who would receive Him from those that prefer their evil deeds since our believing in Him is a manifested work of God.
John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Anyway, you can come across the most intelligent man and the most wise man in the world, but unless the Father reveals His Son to them, they will never believe in Him and be saved. So it doesn't matter on the level of intellect.
