The foolishness that serves you as a substitute for knowledge and reason ("Just look outside for all the proof you need!") is a logical fallacy (a flaw in thinking) known as the "Argument From Incredulity"... which is a sub-category of the "Argumentum ad Ignorantiam" (Argument From Ignorance). It goes something like this: "I can't conceive of how this might have come to be; therefore, God did it."
That does not point to a limitation of nature... rather, it exemplifies a limitation of knowledge and/or intellect. Also, it is intellectually dishonest, since it does not (as scientists do) ACKNOWLEDGE the limitation of knowledge and/or intellect... it merely invokes the fanciful idea of a supernatural creator-entity to manifest the ILLUSION that your ideations map to reality.
'Faith' (wishful, magical thinking) is a substitute for evidence.
'Belief' (the internalized 'certainty' that you are privy to the 'truth' pertaining to some fundamental aspect of existence and/or reality) is a substitute for knowledge.
faith + belief = self-delusion and willful ignorance

Heathens don't deny the existence of God, they (mostly) just don't believe in your God is all.

OMG, I look outside and see... a busted 1997 Saturn! And then if I look further, I see... wow... my neighbors' unkempt front yard! Geez...... God IS real! Your suggestion to look outside has suddenly and dramatically altered my perception, thank you SO much!
*eyeroll*
"Outside" didn't make "God" any less of a nonsensical, contradictory, logically impossible nonexistent concept yesterday and it won't make it any less so today. Guess what... I'm banking on the same thing tomorrow.

Some people can deny anything, even when it is right in front of them to see if they would just look at it. Even when they do look they still deny the truth.

Oh brother. That argument again? You obviously sacrificed logic and common sense a long time ago.

You assume what you percieve as proof, is indeed proof, when it is not. That is the most of your worries.
