Naturalism assumes that what is true in local places or times must be true for all places and times — after all, isn’t that Occam’s razor? But it does not follow. For example, the earth seems flat in each locality but globally it is not. In mathematics there are many examples where what is locally true is globally false.
This reinforces the need for creationists to emphasize the global picture and not get side-tracked on the local details. The global creation, the global flood, and the global confusion of tongues are the three keys of history.
