book of biblical scripture says Joshua fought the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down; book of nature says he did not.
book of biblical scripture says the Israelites migrated out of Egypt; book of nature says they did not.
book of biblical scripture says a global flood occurred; book of nature says it did not.
book of biblical scripture says that sin is transmitted by the flesh; book of nature shows no biological mechanism for the transmission of sin.
book of biblical scripture says we have an immaterial soul; book of nature says we have no such thing animating us, only biological brains.
