One of the complaints that people make about the Apocryphal book of Tobit is that it claims that they used the heart and liver of a fish to drive a demon away, and then used the gallbladder of the same fish to heal his father of blindness.
They say they these are examples of how ridiculous this book is, and shows that it's clearly not the Word of God.
But wait a minute... Isn't the Bible full of examples of God using natural things to perform supernatural works?
For example...
He used Moses' staff
To split the Rea Sea.
He used the waters of the Jordan
To heal of leprosy.
He used a piece of wood
To make bitter waters sweet
He used a pillar of cloud
To protect from the heat
He used the twig of a tree
To make an axe head float
Healed a woman from bleeding
With the hem of his coat
He used David's harp
To drive a demon away
He healed a man of blindness
With saliva and clay
He can do the same thing
With the guts of a fish
An all-powerful God
Can do whatever you wish!

Tobias asked the angel, “Brother Azariah, what medicine is there in the fish’s heart, liver, and gallbladder?” Raphael replied, “If you burn the fish’s heart and liver in the presence of a man or woman under attack by a demon or evil spirit, the spirit will flee and never bother that person again. As for the gallbladder, if you smear the gall on a person’s eyes in which white spots have appeared, and then blow on the white spots, the eyes will heal.”
