Romans 1:20 gives assurance that every person in the world can know that God exists:
While water itself is a very small molecule (just a three-atom unit of hydrogen and oxygen), it is a primary ingredient of our planet. God’s design of how water’s specific molecules behave (and the impact water has on our entire planet) is an example of God’s creative design and custodial presence, even on the smallest and largest scales.
Water expands when it freezes, unlike most other substances. Ice and snow take up more volume than the same amount of liquid water. This makes water denser as a liquid than when frozen, so ice floats. If ice did not float on the surface of the water, the floors of oceans and lakes would be covered with glaciers of ice that would never melt.
As a liquid, water’s temperature range is perfect for cycling water from the oceans to the land. Water requires a lot of energy to evaporate into a vapor and it releases this energy when it condenses back into liquid. This balances temperatures in the earth’s climate, as well as inside living cells. If less energy were required for evaporation, then streams, rivers, and lakes would evaporate away quickly.
Beautiful clouds and sunsets inspire praise for the Creator who forms them. ...we are blessed by the huge quantities of water that flow through our biosphere."

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Nature Reveals God’s Presence
"God’s presence can be detected even in the most commonplace substances, like water. All of us have physical bodies that are mostly water! Our planet is close enough to the sun to provide the liquid water that is necessary for life. But if it were just a little farther away, all that water would become ice!While water itself is a very small molecule (just a three-atom unit of hydrogen and oxygen), it is a primary ingredient of our planet.
