Your question is a profound one, and one not easily answered.
Paul tells us in Romans that God has revealed himself to all mankind by His creation. The more we learn of the complexity of the cell, the basis building block of life, them more we can appreciate that.
Genesis says that man was made in the image of God. Most commentaries agree that the scripture is talking about the characteristics of man which sets him apart from the rest of creation. The ability to think abstractly and to create: art, engineering, science, mathematics, etc.
Still, Jesus said that he spoke in parables so that, hearing, they might not hear. In other places, he said, “He who has ears, let him hear.” It seems that God is willing to reveal Himself when we have “ears to hear.” That’s how it was in my life. I did not have a personal experience with God until I got down on my knees, humbling myself, and asked God to show me if He was there. Within two weeks, I was transformed, my view of the world was completely changed, and without my trying to change - without any indoctrination (I wasn’t going to church or under the teaching of any instructor) - it was a change I did not expect.
After the fall of Adam and Eve, the Bible says God called out, “Adam, where are you?” In a sense, man is hiding from God. Until we are willing to humble ourselves before the God of all creation, we are in rebellion to Him, and it seems to me that He refuses to force Himself on us. Instead, He calls to us, in a voice we can hear down in our souls if we will humble ourselves and recognize our need for Him.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

I agree absolutely- as MrB states, God’s fingerprints are founf in all areas of nature- even down to hte tiniest IC cells
