Because the Bible's main subject isn't about the natural reality .
1. The Bible says Jesus existed -- did HE - or was he invisible in nature?
2. The Bible says Lazarus was bodily resurrected - did that not happen in real life or was he invisible?
3. The Bible says Jesus was bodily resurrected - did that happen or was it merely "spiritual"?
4. The Bible says "six days you shall labor...for in six days the Lord made" all life on planet earth (ie. nature) -- did that happen or is nature also invisible?
Some reports that a car drove off a cliff - can they report that "fact in real life" without going through all the science for gravity, rate of acceleration due to the force of gravity, the mechanics and engineering to build the car?
All these you listed are not about the natural reality.
They happened in real life - in real nature - even though a supernatural even takes place -- for example the virgin birth and incarnation of God the Son as a human being - it does not mean that the human being "did not exist" or had no place in nature..or could not be "observed" to be a real human in every day life with all the physical properties science would have expected.
If you had gone to any of Jesus' family or friends and said that in reality they did not meet Jesus - they would reject the suggestion. They would argue that he is a real historic person and was involved in real historic events - real history being reported in the Gospels.
