To look at all God created and not to see that indeed it had to have been created by a higher power, but instead created by happenstance is such a leap of faith. It takes more faith to be an atheist than the see what has been created and recognize there has to be a creator. God did create the earth and everything in it, including all of us. Do you notice how people who do not believe in God and are not saved still seem to have a set of morals and rules that they follow? We call this a conscience. Where did this conscience come from? God wrote these set of rules on all the hearts of his creation, all of his creation. Whether someone believes or not that person was created by God and has these laws within them. Some people make choices to the point where their heart is hardened. Some people are influenced by evil. We all have the conscience, but we still have conflicting thoughts or excuses to let ourselves believe that what we are doing is okay, even with a Holy Spirit. This is why it's so easy for unbelievers to do things against this law, they need that Holy Spirit and the guidance of God. Speaking as a person with the Holy Spirt, sin is still a battle. We will fight against our flesh and the spiritual world, but none of us are without the laws.
Romans 1:18-25
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen."
Romans 2: 12-16
"For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus."
