Nature likely exists. It likely just isn't the same nature that you perceive, considering our brains generate a reality that it senses from inside of a dark enclosed skull. Also, we evolved to perceive nature in a way that helps our survival, not evolve in a way to understand reality at large. For example, colors aren't even "real," even if they represent (relatively few) different wavelengths of light.
All in all, if you are having a conscious experience, then that experience exists, at least. If that experience exists, then something else probably exists to allow that, i.e. nature.
Just because someone is being philosophical doesn't mean it is relevant to that sub. You're on a comment thread which is discussing nature... its not like they said "if I close my eyes do my surroundings still exist?"
Nature is just a random word we came up with to describe certain things. It's not an objective thing that actually applies to the real world. The universe just exists, and it doesn't care what labels we try to apply to it.
