It is a euphamism for giving battle or resistance to nature.
If you have a disease that will claim your life and you combat it with medicine or technology - you are resisting nature.
You "fly in the face of God"

To "fly in the face of" anything means to challenge, go against it, resist it, deny it, etc.
(Another common phrase is, "to fly in the face of prevailing wisdom" -- i.e., to do something that is not conventionally wise).
So this phrase means to challenge God's seeming intentions or declaration, be disobedient, and so on.

Flying symbolizes freedom. Flying in the face of God means trying to spite him by being free against his will.
