Do I find these images to be "compelling evidence of God giving us a sign"?
No, I find them to be little hints that stir the soul -- like the little chrome or paint touch on a custom motorcycle, the "Easter Egg" in the game or other computer program or movie ... maybe. As always, God is a both a VERY showy God and a VERY subtle God. He BOTH lavishly stacks the deck to show he is there, yet he leaves enough room so that those who are determined to deny him are not absolutely forced (in this life) to admit the "obvious answer". (Although, the more we learn, the harder atheism becomes ...)
But such visuals are fun ... and beautiful, and they give that little shiver of recognition of the work of the ultimate creative artist.
The top picture is the Einstein Cross and link takes you to more detail about it if you are interested. It is a visual of gravitational lensing predicted by the general theory of relativity.
The bottom is laminin protein molecule that literally "holds life together".
Both have been become somewhat popular in various Christian circles, but in general I find such things to be a danger if they are taken TOO seriously. The Bible is the Word of God -- it certainly tells us that God created us and holds us together physically, but much more importantly, spiritually and eternally. The creation will all pass away -- only the spirit is eternal.
But while we are here, God has blessed us with little "shivers of eternal awareness" to help light our way home to him.
