A christian once used the argument “Can you see wind?” I think he was in his thirties. It demonstrates that their thought processes are not fully developed.
They can develop it if they have contact with a scientist or equivalent.
1. Air is a mixture of nitrogen and other gases and gases tend to be transparent to visible light. You can just change the state to liquid by lowering the temperature. Very few gases are colored. Bromine gas, iodine gas, chlorine, fluorine, NO2 are examples of gases that interact with visible light.
Oxygen interacts weekly with blue light (the sky is blue).
2. Wind is just the flow of these gases. You can have flow in liquids as well. You can have flow with solids using pressure.
Not believing in atoms and molecules was normal in the early 18xx. I think it was in the later part of 18xx that most of scientists began accepting it since they were able to see patterns in chemical formula.
Atoms have been seen since the invention of the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning and Tunneling Electron Microscope (STEM)

There is a lot more that I can’t see.
I can’t see the Earth’s core. I can’t see that it is mostly composed of iron.
I can’t see Japan.
I can’t see about 7 billion other humans.
I can’t see names, words, languages, software, feelings, music, stories. These are all non physical things.
