Science and Religion not in direct conflict?

Science and Religion not in direct conflict?
I just signed up on curiositystream and it seems pretty good so far except I had to do the HD if I wanted to chromecast it without it looking like blobs ;P

Anyway, after watching some of the god vs science show, there's a few christians in there saying that science and god aren't against each other rather that science is the 'how' god does his 'miracles'....or something of that nature.

I; however, do not understand this viewpoint.  Mainly because every story that is claimed in the bible has already been debunked by science and there is no evidence that correlates with anything in the bible.  To me, I don't see how that's NOT a conflict. 
Is there some weird thing about the bible I'm not understanding?

I mean take genesis for example, God make adam and eve from adam's rib yadda...yadda...yadda...., and then science discovers fossils of homo habilus, homo erectus, homo neanderthalsus, etc., of our past evolution and closely related species.

How in this universe do these fossils found give a 'scientific explanation' or 'how god did it' for the adam and eve story?  That's ludicrous!!  They don't correlate at all. It simply proves that it never happened period.

I mean, a rational scientific discovery to show the 'how' of the adam of eve story I'd imagine something along the lines of 2 fossilized human skeletons being found in what was once a tropical but isolated area (eden). And a peculiar rib found in the female skeleton (eve) was very unusual because it didn't matched the dna of the rest of the female's skeleton, but somehow it that matched the male's skeleton (adam's) DNA exactly, so how did the male rib somehow get in the female's body?  Then they find evidence of surgical tools that showed adam of eve were once siamese twins that were connected at the rib, and through some weird chance they *knew* how to use those tools to separate their conjoined bodies with the use of some silicon sentient dirt/rock to fill the holes for missing body parts (since I think they were supposed to be made out of dirt or something in the bible)....  Then boom...that's a scientific explanation that correlates with the bible story. <-- but that's not what was found in reality....
