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

Emzap, forget miracles. Let's stick to prosaic reality claims. What scientific evidence can you (or your instructors) provide to support the claim that the Exodus actually happened? Such a large and lengthy migration must have left some kind of archaeological evidence behind. We know that archaeologists have scoured the Sinai looking for such evidence. What's the current scientific consensus?

That's the fun thing about the biblical narrative, the magically miraculous is easy...because honestly, once we invoke magic the dearth of evidence or evidence to the contrary is no longer a problem. Because magic. The little shit, seemingly innocuous, like what's described above..or the colored stick theory of livestock heredity as employed by Jacob in Gen 30.....that's the sort of stuff that makes me look askance at people who tell me that they really believe in the narrative, and further, that science hasn;t or even can't "prove it wrong".
Any idiot with colored sticks and livestock to breed could prove that wrong. You don't need a gene sequencer.

Jacob and the virile sticks.
Always loved that little tale.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

And someone points out suddenly stopping the earth's rotation would have snapped off all the delicate stalactites in caves the world over, some of which took tens of thousands of years to form and yet there they are for any one to walk into a cave today and look at ? I have a feeling there'd be far greater and farther reaching consequences to slamming on Earth's breaks than that.

But he didn't make the earth stop spinning! He made the sun stop moving through the sky for a day! Checkmate, atheists!
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

They're actually red bottomed pixies living in your basement.
How did they get the red bottoms?.......could it be because of a certain bottom obsessed member?
What the pixies do with their members should not be open for our speculation.

I wonder if it's gone. Maybe we should have slow played a little more. Oh, well, there is plenty more out there. (shudders)

I am a Christian studying different arguments against Christianity and Christian beliefs. One that I have come across is that science proves that the miracles of the Bible did not happen. I've done a little research into this, but I keep coming back to asking how science proves this.
I don't understand how science can actually prove that something didn't happen. Yes, science can give alternate explanations of Biblical miracles, or deny that they happened at all. However, how can science prove that the miracles of the Bible did not happen?
Looking forward to your feedback!
Thank you! 
most of the supposed miracles were written after the fact and to say it like so. I could claim that a miracle happened 100 years ago
and write in a book like it truly happened and thousands of years later people would believe it to be true. That is bible miracles in a nutshell.
