I could just as easily say that it's not amazing enough, therefore there's no god - and it would be just as "valid" an observation as yours, if not more so.

This is what is known as an argument from ignorance.
Just because you are unable to think of how this could happen, does not mean that there aren't people that do.
You are no different than ancient people saying things like, "Well, I can't see how earthquakes could happen without a god. So that must be how they occur".
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
