I really like the way you said this:

The reason being that God created all of the wonders of nature and to admire them is to be with God.

If you believe in God I can see how you would think that.

If a person doesn't believe in God but is in awe of the wonders of nature and spiritually bolstered in their presence, would you go so far as to say that that person really does believe in God? For the record, I'm talking about me.

Nature has some perfections, to show that she is the image of God; and some defects, to show that she is only His image.

—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662). Pensées [1670], Sect. VIII.
