For athiests to make to audacious claim that God "does not exist" based simply on their limited perspective & dearth of knowledge is certainly the hight of hubris.
It's more arrogant than Christians claming to know not only that a god exists, but also its exact nature and methods?
I would think that, given lack of evidence, witholding belief in a god is certainly justifiable. Or are you suggesting that it is "logical" to hold belief in all sorts of bizarre things just because they've not yet been "disproven"?
Also by praising nature: they are worshipping the work instead of the Creator.
Some atheists might "praise nature", but I see no reason to do so. It's just kind of here, I don't see any reason to give it praise. Of course, you're already question-begging by assuming the existence of a "Creator" in the first place.

Well: the fact that life & matter exists seems to be rather strong existence of the existence of a Creator. Afterall it is not logical to believe that it all occured all by itself since it still begs the question: where did it start? Etc. There would have to be a point of origin at some point. The intelligence that it required to create the universe points quite strongly in the direction of intelligent design.
