The church explains it specifically. The eucharist elements..literally - not metaphorically or symbolically...literally...turn into the blood and body of christ after a cantrip is uttered over it.
Perhaps you should be more specific.
Science says: "lolno, still a cracker."
"lolno"... lol. Is that an official academic position.
But on transubstanciation I don't hold to that, and don't think the little bit of scripture on it necessitates a literal change. So I wouldn't defend that. But I don't think you can make the case that there is a logical contradiction between science and religious belief. And if there is, then I look at the foundation for both, to see where I may be mistaken.
