It'd be easy to explain how much of the Old Testament contradicts science, but I'm sure you're aware of that and I'm sure I'd get a "Christians don't follow the OT" response
Science says it's impossible for a person to do these things, but God is a supernatural being and is not subject to natural law. Science has no way to prove whether or not God exists since it only can investigate the natural world. Since Jesus is God in the flesh I'm not rejecting any science to believe that he did these things. In that regard, today people are healed from terminal diseases and science has no explanation for how these healings occurred.
It's easy for science and religion to co-exist when all you have to do is chuck science in the bin at the first sign of its contradicting religion.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
