The difference is instantly observed. Being outside and observing the wonders of the sky and creation bring home the reality of God.
You can experience this concept in your room sitting in a chair, but it’s just more easy in the outdoors. I experience this contrast as the temperature fluctuates in central Texas. One day when I go walking I am in a T-shirt. The next day I have on a flannel shirt, insulated vest, scarf, heavy coat and gloves. It makes you think about how things can change so quickly. Sitting in the central heat doesn’t stimulate the same juices.
I think perhaps many scientist who do not believe in God are locked into their physical laboratories or their library surrounded by their books. They study physics but don’t get a chance to contemplate those physical laws at work in the grandeur of a stormy sky or wind blown tree. Often what seems to reasonable at a desk just doesn’t make much sense when faced with reality.
They need to get out more

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
