Until you yield to God, you will not have the capacity to see the evidence, even though the universe and everything in it was created by God.
I think it's more likely that when people "yield to God," all they're doing is surrendering to the fantasy-generating part of their own brains, which then creates illusory "evidence" to prop up the new worldview.
As for these alleged rewards that believers get, I'm not seeing it. At most, beliefs may inspire people to behave differently and sometimes that has a positive effect.
The bits about eternal life and the creation of the universe are pure mythological fantasy, unsupported by reality.
