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
