Let me tell you about spiritual blindness. As Billy Graham said, and as the Bible confirms, Satan blinds people to truth. Satan not only blinds people to the existence of God but to MANY other truths. That is the reason that so many Godless people view all of the Rittenhouse evidence and determine that he committed murder. You think they are crazy and unreasonable. It's not that. They cannot see; they are blind to truth. You might as well show a color chart to a literally blind person and ask them to point out and name the various colors. They can't.
It's spiritual. They are under extreme demonic influence.

15 For this people's heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
