Space is literally a miracle in itself, most humans know about the phenomena it has; from rain of diamonds on some planets to black holes to pulsars; but many people don't believe in a creator after knowing about them.

So it depends on the person. If the person rejects God; nothing will make them believe in God, literally nothing.

But all of these things have more prosaic explanations than godism. We know the temperature and pressure needed to create diamonds, we have a pretty good grasp of black holes, and we know why pulsars pulse. A universe with diamond rain, black holes and pulsars wouldn't look any different if God existed. This makes God an unnecessary explanation.

Natural phenomena are not - and never can be - evidence for gods.
