Atheists, how do you feel when you see the beautiful Colours in a rainbow?

Do you really believe it is just science? If so, does it make you intellectually or emotionally conflicted to witness something so wonderful that is based upon something so dreary and mundane (science and maths)?

Just to be clear... I see a rainbow, and I could say 'wow, that's beautiful, let's see if I can understand what's causing it.
Let's see... the Sun is behind me, my irises are circular, the water vapour is spherical... oh, I'm starting to see how this beautiful sight is made possible by a few simple factors in the same place!'

No, instead of that you want me to say 'Look! There's proof of a magical entity!'

@newjaninev2 No I didn't want you to say that. I was just wondering how blind are to beauty.

@IndigoSavage watching mitosis (the duplication and distribution of chromosomes) is so beautiful that it has been known to bring me to tears.

@newjaninev2 have you tried watching grass grow?
