"At this point, I must again ask what of those who have never been exposed to any of this? Are they destined for eternal death?"

I beleive that everyone will be exposed to this at one point in their life. Romans also answers this question.

Romans 1:18-20
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 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."

Do you think this passage has any bearing on the question regarding those who have never heard the gospel?

[14] When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. [15] They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them (Romans 2:14-15)
