RE: How does "Science prove that the miracles of the Bible did not happen" ?

Science does not disprove the miracles of the bible. It does give us a good foundation upon which to doubt they happened. Particularly the flood and the Exodus.
The miracles aren't evidence of God because you have to accept the existence of God first in order to then go on and make a plausible case for miracles. That's circular.
Ancient people made up miracle stories. Each of them is consistent with their own theories about gods and the universe. We don't conclude that they're all true. The more likely explanation is that people of the time were gullible and made up stories. If you think the stories made up about your god are 'special' then you need to justify that.
